The Chevrolet Small-Block Gen I Performance Air Intake by Edelbrock - RPM Air-Gap, is designed for 1996-2002 Chevy V8's encompassing the Vortec era. This air intake is based on the well-regarded Performer RPM Vortec #7116, engineered to fit perfectly under the hood of your car while amplifying its power and efficiency.

This singular four-barrel intake is meticulously designed for 262-400 c.i.d. Chevy V8s with '96 and later Vortec cast iron or Edelbrock E-Tec aluminum heads. What makes this product exceptional is its air-gap design featuring an open air space separating the runners from the hot engine oil, resulting in a cooler, denser air charge which translates to more power. The design is thought-through down to the specifics, with an external water bypass boss machined into the front of the water crossover for optimal use with 1996 and later Vortec production engines, as well as rear water outlets, nitrous bosses, and a temp sensor boss designed for seamless integration with all waternecks.

This intake also accommodates 1976 and later alternator and air-conditioning brackets perfectly, ensuring versatility for street installations, and it's designed to run with square-bore carburetors, offering you a smooth and reliable operation. Important to note, there's no provision for exhaust-heated chokes or exhaust crossover, making this a perfect match for custom builds that use aftermarket exhausts.
