Edelbrock 2101 intake manifold
Hey everybody, I'm new to the forum. I have a 75 Corvette with the stock 350, I was recently given an Edelbrock 2101 intake manifold and I can't seem to get a definitive answer on if it will fit under my stock hood?

Put on on my 75, so close to the height of the origninal GM cast iron intake it's not even worth mentioning.
Does your 2101 have the hot air choke provision, if you need it?
Does it have the EGR provision, if you need it.
My 2101 had the hot air choke but no EGR. Which was ok because I wasn't running an EGR.

I dont believe it has the EGR. I would like to remove that at any rate. There is an EGR valvle on the stock intake.

Whatever gasket you use, make sure it does not have the exhaust crossover blocked IF you intend to keep the hot-air choke.
A good way to reduce the heat under the carb is to use a blocked off gasket on the driveer's side and an open gasket on the passenger side where the hot-air choke is located.
GM did that for awhile, not sure of the years though.

As far as the choke stove is concerned......just convert the carb to electric choke with a kit.

This is a terrible design.....I urge you to use an electric choke conversion.

Fel-Pro 1256 has the smaller ports and PrintoSeal around ports and the Xover is open both sides (for divorced choke)

Here's the std 71 replacement intake set MS 90314-2
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/f...14-2?rrec=true
First QA - Curious how Fel-Pro's rep recommends 1256 for Aftermarket Alum Intakes. YMMV
addendum of course 71 doesn't have humps, but pots same as 71's 487
Q:
A:The MS90314-2 will work but Fel Pro found that the 1256 performance gasket seals better with the aftermarket aluminum intake manifolds

Block the heat riser passages in the intake manifold and remove the heat riser valve from its axle so that it CAN NOT rust in closed position. If you don't drive the car in cold weather, there is NO need for the heat riser system.

And now... a dumb question. Why is the rear water cross over not used on the 2101 intake?
Thanks
