8882, 8892 specifications
Edelbrock has long been a name synonymous with performance in the automotive aftermarket, and the Edelbrock 8892 and 8882 manifolds exemplify this legacy. Specifically designed for small-block Chevy engines, these intake manifolds enhance engine performance and throttle response, making them popular choices among car enthusiasts and racers.The Edelbrock 8892 is a Performer RPM intake manifold that primarily caters to high-performance street applications. Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this manifold boasts excellent heat dissipation, leading to stable air-fuel mixtures and optimum performance. The 8892 features a dual-plane design, which enhances low end torque and improves overall drivability. Its innovative straight-shot inlet runners ensure improved airflow, contributing to increased horsepower across a wide range of RPMs.
On the other hand, the Edelbrock 8882 is tailored for high-RPM power. Known as the Air Gap RPM manifold, it features a unique design that separates the runners from the base of the manifold, creating an air gap that helps reduce heat transfer from the engine. This design not only improves air density but also provides a cooler intake charge, leading to more efficient combustion. The 8882 maintains excellent throttle response at higher RPMs, making it an ideal choice for those looking to maximize their performance on the racetrack.
Both manifolds include a provision for mounting a square-bore carburetor and can accept all standard-sized carburetors, allowing flexibility for various setups. The Edelbrock 8892 has a recommended RPM range of 1,500 to 6,500, while the 8882 caters to those who operate primarily in the 3,500 to 7,500 RPM range.
Additionally, both models feature a polished finish that not only adds aesthetic appeal but also makes installation straightforward. They are designed to fit standard Chevrolet cylinder heads without modifications, ensuring compatibility with most aftermarket and OEM parts.
In summary, the Edelbrock 8892 and 8882 intake manifolds are engineered for distinct performance needs, delivering high-quality construction, superior airflow characteristics, and enhanced engine performance. Whether for street-driven applications or race-specific setups, these manifolds solidify Edelbrock's reputation as a leader in performance parts for automotive enthusiasts.
