G'day,

Before I returned to Sydney I took the three intake manifolds for a 455 GMC I have in Houston took some measurements I thought might
be helpful:

I turned them over on my workbench and sat them on the carb mounting surface then measured the distance from the workbench to the
front lifter valley sealing surface and the rear lifter valley sealing surface.

OEM Manifold

Front: 3.55 inches
Rear: 3.77 inches

Edelbrock Performer

Front: 4.50 inches
Rear: 5.60 inches

Edelbrock Performer that has had the carb mounting surface milled down reducing the height.

Front: 3.76 inches
Rear: 4.08 inches

The depth of the plenum under the carb mounting surface is about the same as the OEM manifold.

Regards,
