• MANIFOLD: The Torker II manifold is designed for 351 c.i.d. Ford Windsor small-block V8 engines, and is recommended for street high
performance and race vehicles only. The Torker II manifold is of single-plane design utilizing modern air flow technology. It provides good
low rpm response plus increasing performance above the 5000 rpm range. It also provides horsepower and torque increases within the listed
rpm range when used with any mix of aftermarket equipment available for vehicles operating within that range.
• EGR SYSTEM: This manifold will not accept stock EGR (exhaust gas recirculation equipment). EGR systems are used on most 1972 and
later model vehicles. Check local laws for requirements.
• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. See our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call
