If you have been into fast cars in the last 50 years, Edelbrock parts were on your wish list. He and his company influenced hot rodding forever. Godspeed.

Back in the day I had a 425cid-powered Olds 442 with an Edelbrock Torker intake manifold. That was one massive chunk of aluminum.

RIP Vic.

have spent more than a few bucks on his products, never disappointed in any of them.

built a 76 chevy 3/4 ton (had a great engine guy do most of the work) with all edelbrock, 350 4 bolt main with performer heads, cam, intake and 750 cfm carb.
balanced and blueprinted and run on a dyno. put out 425 hp/475 ft lbs and would climb a tree in 4 low.

built a few more using intakes and carbs before the heads and cams came out, excellent product and great customer service.

rip vic.

Even ladies recognize the Edelbrock name especially associated with race cars parts.
