Default Edelbrock 3166 Ford 429-460 Performer Dual Plane Intake Manifold WITH EGR

The RPM intake is a big PITA to use with Shaker assemblies. It also raises the carb up and causes other issues requiring some "cobbling" to make it work. It has no provision for a hot air or divorced choke, so an electric conversion is in order if the owner wants a working choke.

The RPM intake is a fine intake otherwise. We use and recommend it where hood clearance will not be an issue. For most Shaker and Ram Air set-ups, we use the stock intakes. If the power level dictates, we will modify them accordingly.....Cliff
Mr Cliff, how much will you charge me to modify a stock intake, one that will be used behind a 455, 500 HP engine? thanks
