EVIL ENERGY Holden Commodore V8 Dual Plane Intake Manifold

EVIL ENERGY Holden V8 Dual Plane Carburetor Intake Manifold

If your classic Holden V8 feels flat with an aging factory-style intake, mismatched carburetor setup, or weak mid-range response, the EVIL ENERGY Holden V8 intake manifold gives builders a carburetor-ready dual plane option for compatible 253, 304, and 308 cid street engines. Its 2,500-4,800 RPM range is aimed at cruiser builds, Monaro, Kingswood, Statesman, Commodore, Sandman, and Ute projects that need predictable throttle response and low-to-mid RPM drivability.

This dual plane intake manifold uses a divided plenum layout to support street-focused carburetor response across the RPM range where many classic Holden V8 builds spend most of their time. It is a practical option for builders replacing an older intake, planning a carburetor swap, refreshing a street Holden V8, or choosing a carburetor intake manifold for a classic Australian muscle car project.

Important: Always verify engine family, cylinder head configuration, carburetor flange requirement, square or spread bore carburetor setup, intake gasket style, hood clearance, throttle linkage, fuel line routing, and port alignment before ordering. This manifold is intended for compatible Holden V8 street applications and should not be assumed to fit unrelated GM, Chevy SBC, or LS engine families.

Vehicle and Engine Fitment

This Holden V8 intake manifold is designed for compatible street Holden 253, 304, and 308 cid V8 engines. Common reference applications include Holden Monaro HQ-HZ, Holden Statesman HQ-HZ, Holden Belmont / Kingswood HK-HZ, Holden Monaro SS, Holden Sandman, Holden Ute / pickup platforms, and early Holden Commodore VB-VL V8 applications.

Vehicle names are provided as reference examples only. Engine swaps, cylinder head changes, carburetor selection, square bore or spread bore flange requirements, air cleaner height, throttle linkage, accessory clearance, and hood clearance can affect final fitment. Before installation, confirm that your engine and carburetor setup match this Holden intake manifold.

Why Choose This Holden V8 Intake Manifold?

This Holden V8 dual plane intake manifold is designed for builders who want a street-friendly carburetor intake upgrade for compatible 253, 304, and 308 cid Holden engines. For many classic Holden street builds, throttle response, vacuum signal, cruising torque, carburetor compatibility, and low-to-mid RPM drivability matter more than peak high-RPM output.

For Monaro, Kingswood, Statesman, Sandman, Commodore, Ute, or classic Holden V8 projects, this EVIL ENERGY carburetor intake manifold provides a practical intake solution for cruiser builds, street refresh projects, and moderate performance applications. Final results depend on the full engine combination, carburetor size, camshaft, exhaust, ignition timing, fuel system, and installation quality.
