Default Small block intake info.

Hope all had a nice Thanksgiving. Today while doing a little cleaning in the garage I thought i would line up these intakes I have and measure and show the hight differences. I do not have a stock cast iron chevy manifold but on the left end is a 1981 Camaro Z-28 aluminum factory EGR intake for a Q-jet. Next to it is an Edelbrock Performer 2101.Also for a Q-jet. The tallest is an Edelbrock Performer RPM 7101. It is a square bore intake. On the right is an Edelbrock performer Air Gap 2601. It is also a Q-jet. The numbers you see below the tag in front of each intake is how much lower it is from the tallest RPM part.

Thanks for the info. I put a 2100 on my 1979. there in 1/2 inch clearance from air cleaner to hood. Understand I can use a drop air cleaner base, and move up to an Air Gap.

Yes, the Performer manifold (with EGR) fit my 78' with no problems
