Eldebrock Intake Manifold
1981 Corvette. Will the Eldebrock instake Manifold, 2116 fit under the hood, This is the intake which fits Vortec heads, Eldebrock web site says it won't but what does it take to make it? The carb will be a quadrajet, I have the OEM air cleaner and an aftermarket chrome 14" I want to run the Vortec heads, need an intake. What air cleaner do you need? Thanks Al

It would likely work if you use a drop base air cleaner. It's difficult to say absolutely, but many have used Edelbrock and other make intakes not supposed to fit by being creative with air cleaner configurations.

I placed the order today, I have a spare set of Votec heads sitting on the shelf. I may as well use them. I think the new heads and the new intake could clean up the engine bay some. I will try to order a new filter once I measure the distance needed for clearance. Al
