After agonizing with one of their TBs I certainly wouldn't trust them to get it right on an entire intake.

Their parts sure look pretty, but I've heard horror stories of their fit and finish.

I belive that correct me if im wrong, but isnt BBK Edellbrock.There older TB's said BBK Edalbrock on them. Since edelbrock makes a base manifold for our cars bbk might have just put there name on them.
