The air gap from my understanding is designed to work with the Edlebrock heads and are made with smaller ports to match the heads.I have a 70 version of the 351C 4V in my car so it’s the high compression quench heads. Years ago I built it to a 393 along with lowering the compression which made it a really nice streetable car. I used to have the Torker intake on it which worked great, then a few years ago I switched to the Edelbrock Air Gap expecting a slight overall improvement. Surprisingly my butt dyno was telling me that the Torker was actually a bit better. My engine builder confirmed this since he’s dyno’d other 393’s with both intakes. Unfortunately I sold the Torker before testing out the AirGap so now I’m in the market for another one.
Yes I was aware of that but somewhere along the way I was told that it still works fine with 4V heads. Ultimately it does but it seems that the Torker is still better, at least for a 393 anyway.The air gap from my understanding is designed to work with the Edlebrock heads and are made with smaller ports to match the heads.
The port is way smaller than the 4v ports.
Sorry it’s soldYes I was aware of that but somewhere along the way I was told that it still works fine with 4V heads. Ultimately it does but it seems that the Torker is still better, at least for a 393 anyway.
I’m from BC but I have a location in North Carolina that you could ship the part to if you prefer.
Grrr, machine shop jail is accurate. Mine has been there since March of last year. Intake, cam, heads, crank all caused delays. Finally got the billet secured for the cam build so the last hurdle has been passed. Time to put it together when the cam and lifters arrive.It’s still in the build process.
I’m sure it will be in machine shop jail for a few months.
I did it for better drivability and better tolerance of todays gas.
Why not port the AirGap?Yes I was aware of that but somewhere along the way I was told that it still works fine with 4V heads. Ultimately it does but it seems that the Torker is still better, at least for a 393 anyway.

Not convinced that just porting it would make up the differenceWhy not port the AirGap?
