Super Victor Carb or EFi

[Jeff360]

Hey there. This may be my first posting so if things go wrong, sorry.

About a year ago I purchased a Edelbrock Super Victor intake For carburetor applications. For the past year it sat in the box unopened. This week I popped the box open. Inside was what I’d call a cross breed intake. The box says part number 2815, consistent with a Super Victor for carburetor applications. The intake itself is embossed with EFI, and the model number underneath is 28155, consistent with a Super Victor for EFI applications. The injector bosses are there but are not milled for injectors as they would be.
I suspect that the Edelbrock foundry probably produced more EFI intakes than needed and before the injector bosses were milled, the intake was repurposed as a Super Victor for Carburetor applications.
Im pretty sure other than the bosses and the annoying EFI embossing, the intakes are the same. I hope so, I’ve already started milling it. Wow, this intake needs a lot of port work.

Anyone know about these cross breed intakes?

Have a look at the photos.

Welcome to the board.

It’s probably cheaper to produce one version of the intake.

There was a time when they were not available at all. So, “*I Think*” they made it just one intake to save money & time in getting them out the door to catch up on back orders.

Just slap a sniper on there and the embossing would be correct

Or grind the "EFI" off and run a carburetor

There was an older thread on here that touched on the same subject. I haven't heard any updated information on this.
