Upgrade your Vortec-powered Small Block Chevy with the Top Street Performance Black Aluminum Dual Plane Intake Manifold. Designed specifically for 1996-2002 Chevy Small Block V8 engines equipped with Vortec cylinder heads, this Vortec intake manifold delivers improved throttle response, stronger low-end torque, and enhanced drivability for street performance, restoration, and weekend cruiser applications.

Unlike traditional Small Block Chevy intake manifolds, this SBC Vortec intake manifold is engineered for the factory 8-bolt Vortec intake pattern used on 305 and 350 Vortec engines. The dual-plane runner design helps improve airflow velocity and fuel distribution, making it an excellent upgrade for enthusiasts searching for a Chevy 350 Vortec intake manifold, Vortec carbureted intake manifold, or Vortec intake for a carburetor conversion.

Designed to operate from idle to 5,500 RPM, this Chevy Vortec performance intake provides strong low- and mid-range power while maintaining excellent street manners. The lightweight aluminum construction helps reduce weight and improve heat dissipation, while the low-profile design helps maintain hood clearance in many applications.

Whether you're replacing a factory Vortec intake manifold, converting a fuel-injected Vortec engine to a carbureted setup, or building a street-performance Small Block Chevy, this Vortec dual plane intake manifold provides the airflow, torque, and drivability needed for reliable performance.

Vortec-Specific Intake Manifold Design

Street Performance Benefits
The dual-plane design improves airflow velocity and fuel distribution to help increase throttle response, low-end torque, and overall drivability.
