I'm told the 3x2 barrel intake manifold for a 348 will bolt on to new Edelbrock heads. There is no mention of this on the Edlebrock website. Anyone have first hand knowledge either way?
Stock 3x2 intake manifold issues.

If they are the 60815 Eddie head yes. If they are the high performance 409 heads no.
Thanks. I ordered the heads today, after struggling with a broken rocker stud for weeks I finally coughed up for the Eddies.

When I looked at the Eddie site it said the 60815 head was the Lopo head? Please someone put the correct number up before it’s to late!I hate to be a buzz kill here but the 60815 head is a large port head .The tri power manifold is a small port part.The question becomes,how is that supposed to work?
John, cancel that order before it’s to late. I inadvertently posted the wrong information, my bad. I apologize for any grief I caused.
I Think I must have read from one of the older sites that listed the small port intakes and didn’t read it close enough. Again my bad. I’m glad we have fact checkers like Don on the job.As far as I can tell from reading the stats posted on their site,Edelbrock heads are only made as 690 and 583 replacements.They make no small port replacement heads.They don't even list the 2-4 bbl.intakes for the small port heads anymore.
You guys are doing a great job of cross-checking each other, I mean that. I was pretty sure Eddy made a small-port head at one time, but I wasn't interested in it so I just blew it off and I would never have caught that...
So for John, maybe the best we can do is scare up a nice set of 333 or 1147/ 817 heads that would be more or less ready to go for him? Although I know the feeling about investing money in old iron stuff sometimes. Or...maybe that iron 3x2 could be made to work by adding to the top of the port? Seems like I saw that done somewhere?
Anyway, this is a great group that always bands together to help people out. Just sayin'

So this is possibly the dumb question of the day.......can the fuel/air mix flow thru the small port manifold into the larger ports at the head and still work (but not the other way around)? Possibly not because of the larger intake valve size? Seems like they would still line up.....
Thanks Don, I'm stilling elementary school but learning every day.
Hi Jeff, Please call me at your convience. 916-416-5695.
I'm pretty sure the 1173's are small ports, just interrim version of dual spring solid lifter heads.
