This Edelbrock Performer EGR Intake Manifold is a lightweight aluminum intake upgrade for Full Size Jeeps with AMC V8 engines. Designed for AMC 304, 360, and 401 street engines, this dual-plane intake is built to improve throttle response, fuel distribution, and torque across a broad RPM range.

The low-rise Performer design works well for street-driven Full Size Jeeps where dependable drivability and low-to-mid RPM power matter. It performs from idle to 5,500 RPM, making it a good match for stock or mildly built AMC V8 engines using a compatible square-bore carburetor.

This is the EGR-style version and features a satin aluminum finish, major weight savings over the original cast-iron intake, and standard AMC V8 fitment provisions.

Installation Notes

Recommended intake gasket CLICK HERE. Must be used with a factory-style metal valley tray.

The factory oil baffle from the underside of the original intake should be transferred to this manifold. Self-tapping screws / rivets may be included depending on the manifold package.

Use RTV sealant on the front and rear end rails instead of end seal gaskets. Hardened washers should be used with the intake bolts to help prevent galling of the aluminum and allow proper torque.

This manifold will not accept factory Motorcraft spread-bore carburetors. Use a compatible square-bore carburetor setup. For 1979 and newer vehicles, Edelbrock throttle bracket adapter may be required depending on throttle and kickdown linkage setup.
