Edelbrock Performer RPM Power Package - Total Power ... In A Package

An easy way to install your intake "leak-free": a light adhesive (such as my favorite, Gasgacinch) to hold the gaskets; a fat bead of high-temp silicone along the front and rear (no gasket).

The rocker arms of choice ended up being the bullet-proof COMP Cams 1.52 Pro Magnums along with matching (7.900-inch) pushrods.

With the Performer RPM Air Gap manifold snugly in place, the hard-part installation portion at Speed-O-Motive was now complete.

Above and beyond the Total Performance Package, the top end was also treated to an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650-cfm square-bore carburetor. Like their Performer carbs, the AVS four-barrels are pre-calibrated and ready to run out of the box.

For a little change of pace, rather than going with the typical polished aluminum I might normally choose, I decided to give Edelbrock's black powdercoated Classic Series valve covers and air cleaner a shot.

For the fuel pump, filter, and hose, Edelbrock offers a variety of options-for this application, to match the existing accessories, a Russell ProClassic pump-to-carb hose kit was used in conjunction with a polished Edelbrock fuel filter and carb fitting kit.
