Default 80 Vette upgrade
I'm planning to upgrade the performance on my L48. One item will be the intake manifold. What manifold with a Quadjet will fit with no clearance issues? Thanks.

When I had the stock engine in my 1980, I used a Weiand 8004. The Qjet fit and I had no clearance issues. No EGR though.

Yes, both Edelbrock Performer & Weiand Action+ will work.
