That's not necessarily the case. The problem with the old school Weiand is the fact that the manifold had no separation between the engine, creating a big oven. Like the Edelbrock Victor Jr., these are a true single plane and the only contact is at the cyliner head port inlets. Heat soak will not be an issue on this manifold.

edelbrock has a pro-port canted valve they had at the show and another std style head thats new as well i think.
No way that intake fits under a fbody cowl, it is quite tall. I probably have a few pictures from the show.
200 CID plenum volume, runner length within half inch of ls7 manifold I think it was. that or the sbc one id have to check

I think an intake like that is directed towards anyone whom could use it. Most of us would gladly butcher our cars up a tad bit. There is also a big street rod market opening up...

how much cutting do u think will be needed in a c6?
if your car were equipeed with super victor instead of a jr., do u think the height would equal this new intake manifold? or close too?
i have a super vic. that i would like to install along with 90* elbow, in a c6.

As with all Edelbrock EFI intakes we also offer the XT Ls1 as a separate item. This one in particular gained a lot of attention at the trade shows from the LS crowd.
This intake will not clear the hood of a F-body or Y-body. I posted dimensions on a thread last week detailing heights.
Thanks.

Thanks. But that's only the hood. Say we have a cowl hood. What about clearance at the windshield cowl/wipers?
I'm shocked they'd make an intake that is made only for engine swapped cars. Sure there's some interest, but that just seems odd when you could make one for a much greater number of people. I guess it'll fit on trucks.

Nobody ever mentions the possibility of shimming the K-member for clearance on here...you can shim it slightly without hurting the drivetrain gemoetry

Well even the jr and an elbow the hood won't close without rubbing/hitting and that's with the low sheet metal elbow. edelbrock has a nice cast elbow that I heard rumors will allow the hood to shut? At least it will flow better than the one I have. If you look at mine I have a 1 1/4 spacer under the Elbow with burst panels and it looks about the same hieght as the tunnel ram.

its still kind of hard to judge the height, but i am getting more of a idea of it.

We move kmember down 1/8, to clear vic jr and elbow without cutting, but youd need probbaly an inch for that 
Cowl hood wont help a bunch, its the front lip of the throttle body that will be the worst clearence. Youn need something like tall sunoco hood, or somethign like Ritchia Stein run to fit a 630 inch engine and carb under his Camaro hood.
You would need clearence 5-8 inches taller than where your TB is now Id guess from seeing in person
