SBC 2701 Intake Manifold & Installation Kit

The Edelbrock 2040 SBC 2701 Intake Manifold & Installation Kit is a complete dual-plane intake solution engineered for small-block Chevy engines requiring maximum torque across a broad RPM band. This aluminum manifold ships with all gaskets and hardware, delivering a bolt-on installation that eliminates sourcing individual components. The square-bore design and natural aluminum finish integrate seamlessly into stock and modified engine bays where mid-range responsiveness and reliable street performance are priorities over peak horsepower.

The dual-plane runner geometry of the Performer EPS design distributes fuel charge across cylinders in a sequence that optimizes low-to-mid-range torque production—a critical characteristic for vehicles operating under variable load conditions. The included gasket set ensures proper sealing across intake ports without requiring additional purchases, while hardware provision eliminates compatibility guesswork. Aluminum construction keeps thermal mass moderate, supporting consistent carburetor operation and reducing heat soak that compromises cold-start performance. The manifold's Performer series rating positions it within Edelbrock's proven lineup for naturally aspirated small-block applications where aftermarket intake work demands repeatability and field-tested design.

This intake kit serves restoration builders, classic car operators, and small-block Chevy enthusiasts undertaking engine-out service who require a complete solution without assembling components piecemeal. The square-bore carb mounting ensures compatibility with standard four-barrel carburetor bosses across decades of small-block production. Installation weight of 22.43 pounds positions the manifold within typical range for cast-aluminum dual-plane designs, requiring no exotic engine block or cylinder head modifications for fitment on standard 262, 283, 305, or 327 applications.
