INTAKE MANIFOLDS, GASKETS AND COMPONENTS

Intake manifolds distribute the air/fuel mixture to the appropriate cylinders. Intake manifold design is geared toward the end usage, whether that is a street performance engine or an all-out competition application. The wide range of Chevrolet Performance intake manifolds means there is an ideal manifold for your many needs. There are cast-iron and aluminum intake manifolds for carbureted and fuel injected applications. Chevrolet Performance intake manifolds were designed specifically for GM engines, so you know they will deliver OE performance.  

10185063

Intake Manifold, ZZ Series

  • Aluminum manifold used on all 350 HO engines
  • Can be used on all Small-Blocks through 1986
  • Dual-pattern carburetor flange is approximately 1/2" lower than the 1970 LT1 intake, yet produces the same horsepower
  • Provisions for all late-model accessory brackets, EGR, and an integral hot-air choke
  • A heat shield can be mounted underneath for improved performance

NOTE: Open carburetor spacer is not recommended for use with dual-plane intake manifolds.


12366573 

Intake Manifold, Vortec Head Design 

  • Designed for 283-400-cubic-inch engines using Vortec cylinder heads P/N 12558060, P/N 19300956, P/N 19300955, P/N 19331470, or P/N 19331472
  • Has 4-bolts per side to attach it to these cylinder heads
  • Aluminum high-rise design maximizes horsepower and delivers a broad torque curve
  • Accepts a square-bore 4150-style carburetor and includes externally plumbed hot water crossover passage
  • Use manifold gasket P/N 89017465 and eight attachment bolts, P/N 12550027

NOTE: Vortec heads were originally released on 1996-1999 truck engines. Check for hood clearance, especially with Corvette.

NOTE: Open carburetor spacer is not recommended for use with dual-plane intake manifolds.


12496820

Intake Manifold, Vortec Head Design (Dual-Pattern Carb Mount) 

  • This dual-bolt-pattern aluminum manifold will work with all Vortec cylinder heads P/N 12529093, P/N 12558060, P/N 19300956, P/N 19300995, P/N 19331470, or P/N 19331472
  • Will accept Holley or Quadrajet-style carburetors
  • Will accept an EGR valve, P/N 17052693
  • To block EGR port, use P/N 12556596
  • Requires intake manifold gasket kit P/N 19301685 and 8 special manifold bolts, P/N 12550027

NOTE: Open carburetor spacer is not recommended for use with dual-plane intake manifolds.


12496821

Intake Manifold, Vortec Head Design for TBI

  • Designed for throttle-body fuel injection
  • Aluminum intake will work with all Vortec cylinder heads, including P/N 12558060, P/N 19300956, P/N 19300955, P/N 19331470, or P/N 19331472
  • Also accepts EGR  

NOTE: The exhaust manifold from 1996-and-newer pickup trucks with RPO L31 350 engine, P/N 12557828, is drilled and tapped to accept an EGR tube. EGR pipe P/N 10220275 can be used with EGR Valve P/N 19210662 and gasket P/N 12337972. This manifold is primarily intended for use with Vortec heads on pre-1996 engine blocks. Blocks manufactured in 1995 or earlier have thermostat bypass passage from the block directly to the water pump. If manifold is used on 1996 and later engines (which do not have the bypass in the block), you must run a coolant bypass line from the manifold to the 5/8" hose nipple on the water pump (passenger’s side). Suggested routing is from the 3/8 NPSF boss on manifold to the water pump.


12496822

Intake Manifold, Eliminator Vortec Head Design

NOTE: ECU is programmed with a “green mode” that controls the rpm for the break-in period. During this period, engine speed is limited to 4,000 rpm in the first hour, 4,500 rpm in the second hour and 5,500 rpm in the third hour.


88961967

BOWTIE COMPETITION MANIFOLDS 

24502481

Intake Manifold, 18° Competition

  • Developed for stock car short tracks and works well on road racing engines
  • Features runners and plenum volume sized to enhance mid-range torque. Aluminum intake fits 18° heads casting
  • Manifold is ideal for 310-cubic-inch road racing and 358-cubic-inch short track engines
  • Manifold flanges are 0.590" thick to promote a good gasket seal
  • An auxiliary water line boss at the rear of the casting improves water flow
  • Weight 22.5 lbs
  • Volume 2700cc

24502653

Intake Manifold, Spider Design 

  • A 2-piece “dry” aluminum manifold “spider” consisting of the runners and plenum only
  • The runners, called the “spider assembly” by racers, along with valley plate assembly – the common term for the bottom section of the intake (see P/N 24502654 below) – are designed for use with the 18° cylinder heads with a date code of June 1996 or newer

24502654

Valley Plate Assembly

  • Universal aluminum valley plate is designed for use with 18°cylinder heads
  • Can be used with dedicated 2-piece manifold spiders, existing 1-piece intake manifolds which have been properly machined for use as a dry manifold, or fabricated manifold designs
  • Valley plate has cast-in integral passages to equalize coolant flow from the front and the rear of the cylinder heads
  • Fits heads dated June 1996 and later  

NOTE: Important information about gasket matching: Gasket flanges are machined to provide the proper port alignment with standard runner locations. Runners in heads and manifold must be matched by engine builder. Often, the gasket will line up with the top of the port so removal is required at the bottom of the port. Gaskets that can be used with this manifold are: Fel-Pro® P/N 1205 and P/N 1206, and Mr. Gasket® P/N 102. Always match the gasket to the cylinder head you plan to use to ensure a correct fit.
