Edelbrock part #7501-BP RPM Air-Gap intake manifold is designed for 1955-86 262-400 c.i.d. Chevrolet V8 applications. The award-winning RPM Air-Gap intake manifold incorporates the same race-winning technology that's used on our Victor Series competition intakes. The air-gap design features an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power. This PN 7501-BP version comes with a beautiful reflective Black Plasma finish that is durable and easy to maintain. The Plasma finishes are applied by a fully automated 7 stage prewash and 4 stage finish. A durable clear powder coat finishes the process.
