Edelbrock fit issues

I tried my hardest to explain the reasoning above. Higher bigger ports flow more air but create other issues. We as hot rodders can overcome these issues for better performance. I’ve told guys for years on here about using spacers. For some of us it’s all a part of the job. Don’t expect those spacers to be a bolt on application because again some modifications may be necessary. A search on this site will show you some of the things I’ve ran into with them.

Yes and I admit when I posted this I was hoping you would reply. I know you have had these exact issues in the past and was hoping you could spread some light on the issue. I realize this is a race intake and the owner is going to race the car but I was really surprised what a pita it was to install. Ya I've had to clearance intakes and valve covers before and had intake bolt length/height issues before but this was particularly challenging. Not what I expected from Edelbrock.
