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 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. 

 

 
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.
