For my vette. I need a low profile for my 502. I have seen this around and want to know if it's junk or does it work.

Jegs intakes aren't the best. On the dyno they came in second to last. Last being no name eBay specials.

Wieand followed by a extremely close second, Edelbrock.


whats the purpose of the car, cruiser, street n strip?


just noticed it was OER, not Jegs brand. The vid I watched where they were doing intake shootouts on the dyno, OER wasn’t one of the brands tested


I‘d probably recommend the Edelbrock Torker II 2.0. 2500RPM to 6500RPM #5061 intake

the Performer 2.0 is only from idle to 5500, the RPM version likely wont fit due to height but goes from 1500-6500

brodix has a low profile intake that works well, not sure if still avail.

The Weiand stealth also sits pretty low compared to an Edelbrock and also works well.

Car is a cruiser. But I get vapor lock and need to put a spacer and the intake I have doesn't let me have the clearance. The air cleaner hit the hood.

I got a repopped low profile LS6 intake if your interested.

Not right now. I'm not sure what i am going to do.

The Torker II says its 4.6” max height, the performer is over 5.5“ max height

while a single plane might not be ideal, the 502 should have excellent low rpm torque to make up for it.

one thing I’d suggest is blocking off the Exhaust crossovers, if present in the heads/manifold

Can't see that OER one working any better or worse then the factory one. Good price.

I was just worried about the quality.

What heads are on the 502?This intake is for rectangle ports

 

[70ECCustom]

I forgot to ask and mention this…..

Are you running a Ethanol based fuel?

Ethanol based fuels are more susceptible to vapor lock. You may try a non-ethanol based fuel, octane booster or even a higher octane before changing your manifold or blocking the exhaust crossover ports

you may even consider wrapping your fuel line in the engine bay to keep it cooler with a thermal barrier before more invasive repairs.

I used the torquer II on my vette, had some porting done

These things are pretty cool.
The normal looking spacer is to move the insulator/heat shield up enough to clear the accelerator pump mechanism.
I have one and plan to mill slots so I don't have to use the extra spacer.
The insulator itself is .158 thick on the one I have.

If you have 1/4” available from your air cleaner to the hood, install a holley 108-70. Install it correctly, intake, thin gasket, metal shield, thick gasket, carb.

Wrap all the fuel lines under the hood with reflective heat shield like Summit SUM-350137-1 Heat sleeve.
Make sure the fuel line isn’t touching a heat source. No coolant hose, or anything metal.

Vapor lock = it needs a small return line.

Curious to know if the OP is using a factory style air cleaner assembly. Otherwise, a 2.5" air cleaner element will buy more room allowing more clearance. For street use you will NEVER know the difference between a 3" element vs 2.5".

I would do whatever possible to get an air-gap type intake in there. It DOES make a huge difference in keeping the carb cooler.
