When it comes time for speed and performance, there are fewer names with more know-how and history than Edelbrock! Vic Edelbrock Sr. started his love affair with cars when he got his hands on his very first 1932 Ford Roadster and was introduced to the world of hot rods by his brother-in-law. By 1938, Vic Sr. had the bug for going fast and began to race his Ford Roadster at top speed competitions in the neighboring deserts of Southern California. The first product to bear the Edelbrock name was an upgraded intake manifold that was a replacement for the flawed design of the flathead V-8. The Slingshot intake was born.
