The Edelbrock RPM Air-Gap Intake Manifold is engineered for high-performance street and track applications on Ford 351 Cleveland engines. Its innovative Air-Gap design features an open space under the plenum, effectively separating the intake runners from the hot engine oil. This results in a cooler, denser air/fuel mixture, enhancing horsepower and torque output across the 1,500–6,500 RPM range.
