SBC Super Victor Manifold - Vortec 262-40

The SBC Super Victor Manifold - Vortec 262-40 is a high-performance intake manifold engineered for small-block Chevrolet engines equipped with Vortec cylinder heads. Built by Edelbrock, a leader in intake manifold technology since 1954, this manifold is designed for builders and enthusiasts seeking maximum airflow and velocity optimization for street and strip applications. The Super Victor series represents the pinnacle of naturally aspirated intake design, delivering the aggressive flow characteristics that separate serious performance builds from stock compromises.

The manifold features Edelbrock's patented Super Victor design, which uses high-velocity runner geometry to generate optimal air charge velocity across the RPM band while maintaining low-end torque responsiveness. The casting accommodates 262-cubic-inch displacement engines while maintaining compatibility with Vortec 262-40 head configurations, critical for maintaining port alignment and sealing surfaces. Precision porting and carefully calculated internal passages minimize turbulence and flow separation, supporting significant horsepower gains in modified and stock-based engines alike. At 22.4 pounds, the aluminum construction provides weight savings over cast-iron alternatives while maintaining thermal stability during extended high-load operation.

This manifold is ideal for bracket racers, street performers, and engine builders targeting 350+ horsepower naturally aspirated builds on tight budgets. Installation requires proper gasket sealing and verification of carburetor or fuel-injection mounting compatibility with your specific fuel delivery system. The Super Victor design excels in mid-range and upper-RPM power delivery, making it particularly effective for engines running 5,500+ RPM redlines. Fitment is specific to small-block Chevy platforms with Vortec 262-40 cylinder head packages; verify your head casting number and intake bolt pattern before ordering to ensure compatibility.
