Quadrajet carb on a edelbrock intake?

I just came across an edelbrock intake, it was on an 86 chevy truck with a 350, on the top is says Performer RPM, and its at least 10 years old, will my stock quadrajet work with that intake?Quadrajet carb on a edelbrock intake?
OK I was going to stay out of this one, but I can't stand knowing the fact some people must tell you things that just are not true. I have a street machine with a 350 (built) and a Performer RPM Intake, and a Quadrajet jetted to about 750 CFM. I never had any problems making it work right out of the box. If it is a dual plane intake, then the quadra-jet will bolt right to it. If you will look at the intake you will see two bolt patterns for both types of carburetors.

Glad I could help you, Good Luck!!!
Musiclick has it right but needs to emphasise that extensive reworking of the quadrajet must be done before factory levels of stock performance can be achieved.If done correctly you will enjoy above average performance with the added benefits of rock solid reliabillity.Quadrajet carb on a edelbrock intake?
No. The performer intake is a conventional two plane intake which accepts a Holley or a Dominator Carb. You may find a carb adapter to make the fit. The rear throttle plates on a Q jet will come in contact with your intake. Your truck has plenty of room for this adapter however, Check all linkages throttle and automatic transmission Be sure neither completely bottom out.
i mechanic for a living,,and yes it should fit,,the performer series was made to work with stock carbs,,i had one on an old truck,,and it worked fine,,good luck hope this help,s.Quadrajet carb on a edelbrock intake?
Yes it will work, I have an 87 Chevy truck (El Camino) with the exact same setup. I had to replace the old carb and got the quadrajet too. Just slap the plate on there and bolt her up. It'll sound great. PS: watch out when you hammer it down, the sound may be too cool for you if you have an exhaust on it.
it depends on the cfm of the intake and the engine. some have alot higher cfm rating than the stock manifold and you will be running lean ! research the manifold numbers befor you just slap it on.
jim D knows his stuff
Yes it should work just fine.
