Edelbrock manifold

[estout81]

Can someone tell me the model no. or name of this manifold. Any opinions on the performance improvement? It runs very strong on the engine shown. It is a 276ci.

Performance improvement, mediocre, compared to an SU359 on a 276.

if you have to have a 2-3 intake it is a good set up with the two carbs balanced it runs good. at least it has a very good air cleaner!! not one of those restrictive round hat type.

I had those little chrome pots on it. When I made and installed that big air cleaner I could tell a difference in performance. I think it's running a little lean so I'm going to change jet sizes.

The manifold is an Edelbrock regular for an 8BA.

OFF'Y has a version of this intake as well as Speedway. Works on early flatheads as well with minimum effort. Hot Rod intake comparison was positive. Not to be overlooked , on
an 8BA the gen or alternator remains in the stock location. On earlier motors an alternator fits just right so no offset bracket req'd. This intake or a close copy goes
on most motors leaving my shop.

The intake manifold I like best for a preformance application is the Offy 1076 this "Super dual: has better orting and is apros 1" higher than the Edelbrock / The carb flanges are large enough the bored out for the 2GC carb or the Holly big bor truck carb( can't find any information on this carb) I got it from Charley Price and used them on the Hydro engines. However I used 2G carbs on the Beville engine. Is there a better setup? Probably, but this is a cost effective Method that works very well. For street use the 1 1/16 Holly work very well.

Thank you all. Guess it won't make 200 HP!

It very well could if you put a 150 nitrous shot on it.
