EVIL ENERGY Small Block Chevy Vortec Hurricane Plus Intake Manifold

EVIL ENERGY Small Block Chevy Vortec Hurricane Plus Intake Manifold Summary

The EVIL ENERGY Small Block Chevy Vortec Hurricane Plus intake manifold is built for Vortec-headed SBC engines that need stronger airflow, cooler intake charge potential, and a broader street/track performance curve. Designed for 262-400 cid Chevy V8 engines with 1996+ Vortec L31 cast iron heads, this Vortec air-gap carburetor intake manifold targets builders who want more than a basic replacement manifold.

The Hurricane Plus design combines a high-flow Vortec layout with air-gap heat isolation. By helping separate the intake runners from direct engine heat, the manifold supports denser incoming air and stronger power potential through the 3,000 - 5,500 RPM range, especially in the mid-to-upper street performance band.

Vehicle & Engine Fitment

This Small Block Chevy Vortec intake manifold is designed for 262-400 cid Chevy V8 engines using 1996+ Vortec L31 cast iron heads. Common original L31 Vortec donor platforms include Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana applications from the Vortec production era.

Important fitment note: this manifold is intended for Vortec-style cylinder heads and includes an external water bypass boss machined into the front of the water crossover for 1996 and later Vortec production engines. It will not fit under a stock Corvette hood, so hood clearance should be confirmed before installation.
