DESCRIPTION:
Edelbrock Performer series intake manifolds are designed for engines operating in the idle to 5500 rpm range. Performer RPM series intake
manifolds are designed for engines operating in the 1500-6500 rpm range. Match Performer or Performer RPM intake manifolds with
recommended carburetors and additional equipment for even greater performance increases.
APPLICATIONS:
INTAKE MANIFOLD REFERENCE APPLICATION
2121 B, C, D Performer 289: Designed for street 260-289-302 c.i.d. Ford V8s without EGR. Will not
fit Boss 302 or 255 c.i.d. V8s.
3721, 3723 B, C, D Performer 302 4-V (3721) and Performer 302 2-V (3723) - Designed for carbureted 302
c.i.d. Ford V8s with EGR. 3721 replaces the stock 4V EGR manifold using the stock 4v
EGR adapter. 3723 includes a 2-bbl EGR plate, allowing the use of the stock 2-bbl
carburetor and EGR valve. Both manifolds can be adapted for 4-bbl use by using our
#8053 4V EGR plate and the OEM EGR valve and gasket. Our #8017 adapter kit and Ford
#E4ZZ9A-589E spacer may be substituted for our 8053 EGR plate. For 4V off-highway,
non-EGR applications, use our #8714 spacer.
7121 B, C, D Performer RPM 302: Designed for 289-302 c.i.d. Ford V8s for high-performance use.
No provision for exhaust heated choke. Will not fit 255 c.i.d. V8.
7521, 75213 A, C, D RPM Air-Gap 302: Designed for 289-302 c.i.d. Ford V8s. Features an Air-Gap design,
resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power. No provisions for exhaust heated
chokes and no exhaust crossover.
A- Not legal for sale or use on pollution controlled motor vehicles.
B- Stock replacement/street legal in some applications. See “Stock Replacement Parts List for Intake Manifolds” insert, or Catalog for details.
C- Available in additional finishes, such as polished, PermaStar, or EnduraShine. See Catalog for details.
D- Aftermarket 4-bbl carburetors are not compatible with Ford AOD. Performer Series and Thunder Series AVS carbs will work with Ford AOD
when used with Lokar bracket SRK-4000, for more info call (865) 966-2269 or go to www.lokar.com
EGR SYSTEMS: Edelbrock EGR-equipped
Performer
manifolds are intended as a direct functionally identical replacement for their O.E.M.
counterparts. All exhaust emissions or emissions related stock components are intended to be retained and functional. Non-EGR equipped
manifolds will not accept stock EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on most 1972 and later model vehicles.
Check local laws for requirements.
ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. See our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call
