Edelbrock 26011 - Performer Air-Gap Manifold, Chevrolet Small Block, 1955-86

Edelbrock Part # 2601 Performer Air-Gap intake manifold is designed for 1955-86 262-400 c.i.d. small-block Chevys. This Performer Air-Gap intake manifold features an air-gap design for the ultimate street performance in the idle to 5500 rpm range. This design features an open-air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power. High-velocity runners deliver excellent throttle response throughout the power band. The great looks of the Performer Air-Gap along with the solid idle to 5500 rpm performance make this an ideal choice for street rods and street machines. 

  • Based on performer series with a unique air gap
  • Air gap causes cool and dense mixture more power
  • For idle to 5500 RPM street-driven performance
  • Dual-plane low-rise intake with 180-degree firing order
  • Patented runner design ensures broad torque curve
  • Excellent throttle response and mid-range power
  • Fits both spread-bore and square-Bore carburetors
  • No provision for exhaust heated chokes or exhaust crossover.
  • Will not fit under stock Corvette hood.

  • Manifold height: A-3.72", B-4.92" (.27" taller than # 2101);
  • Carburetor pad height: 4.32"
  • Carburetor recommendations: Edelbrock AVS2 or Performer Series 500-650 cfm. Use Bracket # 8031 or # 8036 for 1972-78.
  • Camshaft Recommendations: Performer Plus #2102 and #2103
  • Port exit dimensions: 1.14" x 1.88"
  • Recommended intake gasket: Edelbrock # 7201.
  • Use RTV sealant to properly seal end seals, such as Edelbrock High Temp Silicone sealant # 1076, DO NOT USE END SEALS GASKETS.
  • Sealant must be used on intake bolt threads if the threads extend into lifter valley or coolant passage.
  • NPT/Pipe thread fittings require the use of Teflon tape or paste on threads to ensure a proper seal.
  • DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NPT/Pipe fittings, this may cause the aluminum to crack around the fitting boss. NPT/Pipe thread is a tapered thread.
  • Hardened washers Must be used with intake bolts to ensure proper torque and prevent galling of the aluminum.
  • Even though manifolds are compatible with EGR systems, this does not mean they are legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles. Check local laws for legality.
  • Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void your warranty and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
