DESCRIPTION: The Edelbrock Super Victor 2929 racing intake manifold is designed for ultra-high output 9.2” deck-height
(351W SVO) based racing engines. Its runners have been enlarged substantially as compared to the standard P/N 2980
Victor Jr, to make it suitable for stroker applications. This manifold is neither intended nor legal for street use.
MANIFOLD FEATURES:
•
Single plane design
•
Standard Square Bore carburetor pad
•
Drilled and tapped throttle bracket bosses
•
Rear cooling water bosses (not drilled)
•
Nitrous bosses (not drilled)
MANIFOLD SPECIFICATIONS:
•
Runner average cross sectional area is 3.10 sq. in.
•
Carburetor pad height is 3/8” taller than our 2980.
•
Operating range is 4500 to 8500 rpm (could vary depending on engine size, bore and stroke combination).
•
Manifold height A= 5.95” (end seal-carb pad).
POWER OPTIONS: Although this manifold will work with ported factory cast iron heads, we highly recommend the use of
either our #7716 Victor Jr. or our #7721 Victor cylinder heads. These heads offer higher airflow levels with minimum
preparation required. See our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call (800) FUN-TEAM.
CARBURETOR RECOMMENDATIONS: This manifold is designed to use square bore carburetors only. The use of
Dominator style carburetors requires an adapter plate.
GASKET RECOMMENDATIONS: Fel-Pro P/N 1262 or equivalent has a port opening 2.10” tall by 1.28” wide (2.66 sq. in.
opening area). P/N 1262-R is 2.25” tall by 1.40” wide (3.12” sq. in. opening area) or equivalent.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fully clean all traces of old gasket material and sealant from all of sealing surfaces. Apply Edelbrock Gasgacinch to both
the head intake flange and back of gasket. Let dry and install gasket to head.
2. Do not use cork or rubber end seals. Use RTV silicone sealer instead. Apply a ¼” high bead across each block end seal
surface, overlapping the intake gasket at the four corners. This method will eliminate end seal slippage and
deterioration.
3. For ease of installation and a cleaner look, we recommend using Edelbrock Manifold Bolt and Washer Kit #8524.
Manifold Torque: See figure 1. On early model factory heads, there is no support underneath manifold boltholes circled 5,
6, 7, and 8. These bolts need to be hand tightened with a short box end wrench being very careful not to damage the
manifold. Torque all other bolts in the sequence to 15-18 ft-lbs.
PREP AND TUNING FOR POWER: Optimum cylinder head port opening size should be as close as possible to the size of
the gasket being used. Port-match the manifold exits .020” per side smaller than either the gasket being used or the
cylinder head port opening, whichever is smaller.
FIRING ORDERS: Standard 302 – 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8
Certain 302’s and 351’s use – 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.
