i have a 86 z28 and i have the stock gm intake still on the car altho i do have the edelbrock performer 600 cfm carb. i want to get a new intake but what will still fit under my hood right now i have the stock intake an addapter and the carb then free air cleaner and i have like 4 mm of clearence. so what will fit under there and what do others have.

thanks ahead of time

 

i use a Victor Jr. intake with no hood clearence problems

 

You can always buy a drop base for your cleaner...2" should be enough.

I'm running a 3" drop with a Holley High-Rise street dominator.

 

I run a Weiand 8000 and holley 6210 spbr dp with dual snorkel air cleaner and have minimal hood clearance but it fits

 

yeah im pickin up a edelbrock performer for 80 bucks off my mechanic and running it with my edelbrock 600 cfm carb should fit

 

An Edelbrock Torker is a fairly hi-rise manifold, and I've seen one with a Holley DP and 14" air cleaner fit under the stock hood.

 

Get a rpm manifold or other dual plane with a square bore carb flange then you can lose the adapter your using to mount your square bore carb on that spread bore manifold. Now is that confusing or what
I ran a edelbrock rpm manifold with the edelbrock carb and had just enough room to fit it all under.

 

well im getting a performer for a pretty good price which is 80$ so i will have that on there then when i save enough for my hood i will start saving for my new 400 sb for this summers project.

 

Right on another fbody with a 400.Your gonna keep them red dear cops on there toe lol.so is the hotties to guys ratio in red dear still like 4-1 hehe im in edmonton my self.

 

i'd pass on the performer unless it's a performer RPM, not much of a gain for $80. might as well save up another $20 and buy a RPM intake off ebay and get a much larger gain in power. my

 

if you did not notice i am from canada and for one i hate ebay due to i have had friends who get ripped off on there so i don't take the chance due to i am a student and don't have much money for two they are all american funds so really 100$ american is 160$ canadian funds then i have to pay duty and shipping which would bring it up around 200 in which i can buy a new performer for 200 here. sorry to sound like an jerk but i didn't mean to

 

Hey fbody if you can find a brokerage house on the states side of your nearest border crossing it makes it a lot easier.All the parts for my 383 build up that im gathering now are all from ebay and ive saved a tonn of money.Then i just scoot across the border and pick em all up and bring em back myself.Just make up some cheesy receipt to show em at the crossing .Just scooped a set of comp cams pro magnum roller rockers for 125 us

 

Actually the torker manifold isn't that tall, its good for low clearance hoods. I run a torker, edelbrock 750, and a 14x3 (cheapo summit chrom kit w/logo). I have about 1/2 to 3/4 inches.

 

No, its not huge, but its a good inch taller than stock.

 

Oh yeah, I gotcha, its definately taller than stock. As far as aftermarkets go though, its got decent clearance. And of course, everyone will say that its a piece. To tell you the truth, it seems to work pretty good to me.

 

well i got the performer and with my 1 and a 1/2 inch air cleaner atop my 600cfm edelbrock carb fits just fine and has a bit of a difference on the cars performance maybe downt he road i will get sometign bigger and badder

 

I really like mine... got about the same low end as the stock setup did (which was pretty good as it was) but it really hauls *** once you get above 3000 rpm, and I love that because I got a 5-speed and 3.73 gears, so I really can wind it out easily!!

It doesn't have any of the problems or quirks that people typically associate with a single plane intake... "no low end" "runs rough at idle" "kill gas mileage"

Yea right....
