Underwhelming Performance from Aluminum Engine Manifold

Based on our own experience, the Edelbrock aluminum manifold just didn't deliver the increased horsepower we were hoping for in our automotive project. The installation was a bit cumbersome, and unfortunately, it didn't provide the boost we were expecting. The only plus was the sturdy build quality. Overall, we were disappointed with the performance and wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their engine's power.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting due to its aluminum construction.
Cons
  • Potential compatibility issues with certain engines, leading to difficult installation and required modifications.

One of the few options for a Quadrajet on an L31 engine

Used to convert an L31 (5.7L Vortec) with SFI into an old Quadrajet for the Chevy 72 installation to convert. As expected from Edelbrock, the workmanship and fit were good. I paired it with a 1980 Quadrajet and GM dealer HEI. If you use a roller cam, you need the right transfer case. Pretty hard to find but ended up using ACDelco 10456413 to convert it.

Pros
  • Improves torque over a wide 5500rpm range
Cons
  • Upgradeable

5.7 Vortec carburetor inlet

I bought this to one day change the fuel injection setting on my 2000 version 5.7 Vortec I have in an SUV. At some point I might go back to old school with carbs. When or if I do is the input to use so I bought one as I was concerned this item would be discontinued. I use a GM Quadrajet for the carburetor. I have used Edelbrock headers many times working on hot rods and have never had any problems.

Pros
  • External water bypass attachments available
Cons
  • Some bugs
