Good point,,Edelbrock might not offer a rectangular port Performer. Am pretty sure the Xcellerator is offered for them,though.
I'm just not a fan of single plane intakes for a street car,,unless nitrous is used. Nitrous doesn't really like dual planes.

Thanks Ron and Clint. I'll take a look at a Torker II, Weiand Excellerator and the Edelbrock Performer as suggested. I'll call the guy at my machine shop on Monday too. 
 
Can you guys tell me if these intakes have rectangular or oval ports? I want my choice to match up well with my rectangular port iron heads.
 
 
Any suggestions oh headers and exhaust?
 
Thanks Again,
Larry

I saw the same when I was picking out an intake for mine, so I went for a Torker II. I had it on both my 402 (with a 750 Demon) and my 454 (850 Demon). Matched it up with a Torker Plus cam. Been very happy with the combination.
 
I'm not sure of the dimensions on the RPM and Air gap, but I'm running a 1" spacer which probably puts it fairly close to the height on the others.

I just read on Summit that the Performer RPM and the Air Gap will not fit with a stock hood on a 66 or 67 Chevelle. Anybody out there using this intake with a BBS in a 66 or 67 that can shed some light on this? Is it flat out impossible, or are there ways to make it happen?
 
Thanks,
Larry
