Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake Manifold for 1955-1986 Small-Block Chevy

Edelbrock Performer EPS Intake Manifold for 1955-1986 Small-Block Chevy

Designed for 1986 and earlier 262-400 cubic-inch Chevrolet V8 engines, the Edelbrock Performer EPS intake manifold (PN 2701) accepts a 4150-style square-bore carburetor and features a non-EGR design for a straightforward, reliable power upgrade.

Engineered for torque and response

• Patented dual-plane, low-rise runner layout maximizes torque across a broad, usable power band.
• 180-degree firing order optimization delivers stronger throttle response and improved low-end torque.
• Runner design tuned for peak torque around 3500 rpm on a 350-inch engine, ideal from off-idle up to 5500 rpm.

Measured performance

Dyno-tested gains show approximately 5 hp and 9 ft-lbs of torque versus Edelbrock Performer manifold #2101 on a 350 Chevy, with torque increases in the 3000–4500 rpm range averaging 5+ ft-lbs for stronger mid-range performance.

Fitment and use

• Engine compatibility: 1955–1986 small-block Chevy engines ranging from 262 to 400 cubic inches.
• Carburetion: accepts a 4150-style square-bore carburetor.
• Intake behavior: more responsive acceleration and improved power delivery from off-idle through mid-range, suitable for street and light-duty performance driving.

Important fitment note

Will not fit under a stock Corvette hood. Plan hood clearance accordingly if installing on a Corvette or similar vehicle with compact hood space.
