Edelbrock Performer RPM (7577) and 360 Magnum CI heads
1998 magnum 360
stock rods & crankshaft
KB-107 pistons +.030
PIE stage 1 EQ heads
Comp Cam 20-746-9
*** Edelbrock Performer RPM Intake Manifold (7577) ***
I'm building this 360 magnum for my 1967 Barracuda and am questioning my choice of intake manifold and am hoping for some experience/guidance from the experts.
I have 2 concerns with intake manifold:
1 - The heads have coolant ports at both the front and back of the heads. The Edelbrock manifold only has coolant ports at the front of the manifold and my concern is lack of adequate cooling for the cylinder heads.
2 - There is a significant mismatch with the ports on the engine -vs- ports on the manifold.
It might be that this intake was only intended to be used with Edelbrock Performer RPM heads.
I guess I could modify the intake gasket to accommodate the Edelbrock mismatch, but even with that I think I would end up with slightly restricted flow due to the mismatch. My other option is just to look for another intake manifold that has the proper coolant ports.
Any sage advise out there?????
