§ DESCRIPTION: The Edelbrock Torker 351C #2760 intake manifold has been designed for 351 c.i.d. Cleveland Ford
engines equipped with 4V or Boss 351 cylinder heads. The #2760 intake will not fit 351C engines with 2V cylinder
heads. This intake manifold will not fit under the engine cover of a Pantera with the stock air cleaner. Use the
recommended electric or manual type choke square bore carburetors only. This intake manifold is recommended for
street high-performance, racing, and marine use only. The #2760 Torker 351C manifold provides good performance in
the 3000-7000 RPM range. When used with any mix of aftermarket equipment designed for this operating range, the
performance increases will be even greater.

§ EGR SYSTEMS: This manifold will not accept stock EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) equipment or exhaust-heated
chokes. EGR systems are used on some 1972 and later model vehicles and only in some states. Check local laws for
requirements. This manifold is not legal for use on any emissions -controlled vehicle where such equipment is required.

§ ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. However, due to the variety of
years, makes and models to be covered, please review each part listed in the Installation Items section of the Edelbrock
catalog to decide whether more items are required for your specific vehicle than are mentioned in these instructions. See
our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call (800) FUN-TEAM.

A – Carburetor will work with non-EGR or pre-emission control system.
I – Carburetor has no provisions for evaporative canister.
K – Carburetor requires #8008 or #8024 stud, washer and nut kit. Determine proper length for your carb to

manifold gasket thickness and your accessory mounting requirements.

O – Carburetor comes with manual choke. It can be converted to elec tric choke using kit #1478.

§ GASKETS: Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket set #1228 is recommended when installing an Edelbrock 2760 intake
manifold.

A, I, K, O #8101 dual fuel line kit

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Use a Fel-Pro #1228 or equivalent gasket set when installing the 2760 intake manifold. Do not use the factory -style
stamped metal pan type intake manifold gasket.

2) Fully clean the cylinder head intake flanges and the engine block end seal surfaces.

3) Apply Edelbrock Gasgacinch #9300 to the cylinder head intake flanges and the non-printo seal side of the intake
manifold gaskets. When the Gasgacinch is dry install the intake gaskets to the cylinder head intake flanges.

4) 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.

5) Install the intake manifold and intake manifold bolts. The supplied four 3/8-16 X 1.50” long bolts and 3/8 washers
are to be installed at positions #1, 2, 3, and 4 shown in the manifold tightening sequence diagram. The supplied

Catalog #2760

manifold tightening sequence diagram. Use the stock intake manifold bolts at the remaining bolt locations. Apply
motor oil to the intake manifold bolt threads. Carefully tighten the intake manifold bolts evenly in order per the
intake manifold tightening sequence shown in Figure 1. Tighten the intake manifold bolts 1-8 in the tightening
sequence to 25 ft -lbs. Tighten the intake manifold bolts 9-12 in the tightening sequence to 18 ft-lbs.

§ PREP AND TUNING FOR POWER:
The single plane intake manifold design may require changes in the carburetor jetting depending on individual
application, driving habits, engine condition, and vehicle use. Refer to your carburetor owner’s manual for tuning
instructions. For Edelbrock EPS carburetors #1407 & 1412 - use calibration kit #1480, for EPS carburetor #1411 - use
calibration kit #1489.

Aftermarket ignitions and aggressive advance curves are recommended with high-performance engine packages.
Total advance will vary with cylinder head design. Use modified (three-angle valve job, bowl blend, and port-matched)
stock heads for best results. Port match the manifold exits .020” per side smaller than the intake port openings in your
cylinder head.

§ CAMSHAFT AND HEADERS:

The Torker 351C intake manifold is compatible with aftermarket camshafts and headers designed to work in the 3000-

7000 rpm range. Recommended compression ratio is 9.5 to 1 and above. Follow your header manufacturer’s
recommendations for header designs. Use of aftermarket headers, camshafts, or both, with an Edelbrock Torker
351C manifold may lean carburetor calibration. Should this occur, recalibrate with a richer jet.

• FIRING ORDER AND CYLINDER NUMBERING: For cylinder numbering and firing order, see Figure 2.
