PERFORMER RPM VORTEC (1500-6500 RPM) Based on the powerful Edelbrock #7101, this single four-barrel intake is designed for the street rod, marine and engine swap market utilizing 262-400 c.i.d. Chevy V8's with 1996 and later Vortec (L31) cast iron or Edelbrock E-Tec aluminum heads. #2516 Marine intake features brass lined front water crossover and brass flange inserts to cover the rear water openings. An external water bypass boss is machined into the front of the water crossover for use on 1996 and later Vortec production engines. Manifold accepts square-bore carbs only. For street and marine engines operating from 1500-6500 RPM, see the Performer Vortec manifold or Performer Vortec EPS. Will not fit under stock Corvette hood. Available with satin, black or EnduraShine finish.

  • 2516, Chevy, Chevrolet, Edelbrock, Intake Manifold, Intake, Manifold, Dual-Plane, Performer, Satin
  • Carb recommendations: Edelbrock #1409 or #1410
  • Use RTV sealant to properly seal end seals, such as Edelbrock High Temp Silicone sealant #1076, DO NOT USE END SEALS GASKETS.
  • Use #8516 Edelbrock bolt kit
  • Sealant must be used on intake bolt threads if the threads extend into lifter valley or coolant passage.
  • NPT/Pipe thread fittings require the use of Teflon tape or paste on threads to ensure proper seal.
  • DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NPT/Pipe fittings, this may cause the aluminum to crack around the fitting boss. NPT/Pipe thread is a tapered thread.
  • Hardened washers Must be used with intake bolts to ensure proper torque and prevent galling of the aluminum.
  • Stock brackets will require modification to fit the upright manifold bolt holes. Use Edelbrock Vortec throttle bracket #8032.
  • A carb flange and plenum design that works well with spread-bore (Q-Jet) or square-bore carburetors without the need for adaptors.
  • Match with an Edelbrock Marine carburetor
  • Edelbrock does not recommend the use of an economy type carburetor such as the Performer series #1406 or #1411 on Performer RPM Intake Manifolds. Economy type carburetors are calibrated lean for fuel economy and will not perform properly on this style of intake.
  • Even though manifolds are compatible with EGR systems, this does not mean they are legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles. Check local laws for legality.
  • Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void your warranty and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
