400 Intake shoot out

We have a 400 with Trick Flow heads and flat tappet camshaft. We will be comparing the New Weiand intake manifold to the Edelbrock intake manifold.

You da man Tim!

I wish there were more options, but I guess the adapter plates for 351C intakes fill the gap in the market as well.

Tim,i read an article about a 400 build and they used this intake, i havent looked into it yet because i cant make out the part#. I have a feeling its for the 4V heads but it was a 400 engine.
Know anything about this intake? Thanks for all your input on the 400 engines here.

Tim - you said the "New Weiand intake", but is that the one I have, or a corrected version of the one from China? Or something else?

The Weiand intake manifold is the new version that is coming out of China.

. Also, comparison of new (China) to old (USA) Weiand intake would be appreciated (if Weiand won't kill you for doing it)...


. Do you have to grind the new one to get it on?


. I assume this is 2V heads... (with 4V valves?)

Yes, how did you get the new one to fit? Have they cut the excess off to get the thermostat housing on?

And, as Buzz asked, how can you compare the new one to the old one? I had both in my shop at the same time and there were big differences. The runners were larger and longer, IIRC, and the heat rise passage was huge.

I did noticed that the new manifold did have a corner machined out for the thermostat housing.

The Trick Flow heads are about 2V valves and 2V ports.

. The only intake I can find that looks like that is a 7564... but the last digit in the picture in no way looks like a 4...

IIRR...this was from the late 70's/early 80's....and like most of Edelbrock's parts at the time- a piece of junk from Mexico (literally)....HRM did a dyno test of one of eddy's "New" perf manifolds for the camero or corvette about this same time....it produced less HP/TQ than the oem manifold!

. They didn't have Performer RPM Air Gap intakes back in those days... more like 2000's and newer...

The Edelbrock 7564 is the newest of the Cleveland Air-Gap intakes.
Maybe out for a few years
We have used this intake alot with intake spacers.
