TORRANCE, Calif. (July 11, 2005) - Edelbrock's new Victor Olds 350-403 drag racing manifolds (#2812) deliver unmatched power and race-winning performance for single-carb Olds competition engines.

Top horsepower gains with the Victor Olds 350-403 manifold occur in the 4,500-7,500 rpm range, thanks to Edelbrock's single-plane "air-gap" design.

This new manifold accepts square-bore carbs, and features a carb mount pad height of 7" and high-flow constant cross-sectional area 3.2-square-inch runners. The exit size, as-cast, is 1.94" by 1.28" to insure enough metal thickness for gasket matching and porting, a characteristic of all Victor Series manifolds.

Bill Trovato, owner of BTR Performance, used a Victor Olds 350-403 manifold on his 410 c.i. engine which finished in the top ten in the Engine Masters' Challenge. According to Trovato, "the Edelbrock engineers certainly did their homework on this manifold!" Trovato combined a BTR Performance ported Performer RPM Olds head with the 2812 Victor intake to produce 456 ft./lbs. of torque at 2500 rpm.
