Great to see US manufacturing...I am sure many people would volunteer to do the voice over for such a great product, gratis! Edelbrock has storied name in high performance manifolds....Their Hi-rise intake manifolds set the standard! We machine lovers thoroughly enjoy listening to an expert describe processes also, meeting the people that make it happen is cool too...Just a simple 30-60 second point of recognition..."

It's give or take the same price as holley products but all made in the USA. I love my Edelbrock Products

As a high school kid with a semi-drivable Plymouth 'cuda, and seldom enough money for gas, I dreamed of the things for sale in the Edelbrock catalog. I then got a job at a Southern California Super Shops store, where I spent my paychecks as quickly as I earned them (thank goodness I didn't have a credit card in those days). I wish I still had that car.

I've done everyone of these jobs, from a molder, core maker to the furnace, and the grinder and even the machining,and the cmm dirty nasty hot work!!

I used to gravity die cast alloy heads in addition to doing weld repairs to them; Great fun !

you guys were the envy of all hot rodders for so many years it predates me, for all I know your headers were on the Curtiss Jenny but at any rate I know those guys could use a little Trump bump bonus plan or even an extra keg at the summer social, keep up the good work, you are making America great also

My son works at a foundry and he said that the one he works at is no where near as sophisticated as that he works on the shaker and hook out lines where parts are coming off "cherry" as he calls it

This is simply amazing and one of the main reasons i wanted to be an engineer.

when I was in to looking for a set of small block Ford heads I had shop around it was one thing that made me get Edelbrock I was watching a title block episode on KZread and Vic Edelbrock said that we would never move out foundry to China and that's when Edelbrock was building they're big foundry to help keep him in America is 2x Edelbrock so I did Performa rpm 5.0 I love them they make great power right out the box made in America it counts thanks Edelbrock for making a very good product I won't buy anything but Edelbrock help keep Edelbrock in America by Edelbrock

Well, as a teenager, back in the fifties, everything a guy wanted was made by Edelbrock! I would visit the nearest car parts store and dream of owning those Edelbrock headers that would make my 49 Chevy sound "hot"...well, they did; until a cop pulled me over and said : "your car sounds like a P-51 flying through the Grand Canyon"! He was a nice guy and didn't "write me up".....years later, I became a cop, and I never wrote a ticket to a teenager with "glasspacks"! Anybody out there that remembers those days? Probably not....

+wesley hill I do, in high school ( many many moons ago) I had a 1957 ford with a 312 interceptor engine. I had exhaust cut outs ,and one day I was jamming down a road,cut outs open, when a State patrol unit ( John Mittman, very cool guy) stopped me. He didn't ticket me , but the next day he was in the school parking lot, by my car, and embarrassed me ( in a good-natured way) in front of my friends. Best lesson I ever got from a cop!

I later removed the P.S. and replaced it with a manual 3 speed using a corvette gear shift....jeez, why didn't I keep that car?

Kendrick historian poet When it's made in the USA, everybody in the world knows it's the best, and everybody gets paid, until the smart-aleck accountant and greedy politicians get involved then it made in china. We can do this again, we have done it before. And we do not have no other choice. Made in the great U.S. of A. We have always been great..........

Are all heads CMMed (7:10) ? CMM means Coordinate Measuring Machine but as initials is used as a verb. At GE Power Systems Airfoils outside of Atlanta we had to CMM every gas turbine blade we produced. And we made hundreds of thousands. Had 7 CMMs.

i would think when checking out various cylinder head and manifold port shapes using the 3D printer that they would make sand mold forms for the port sand cores would allow easy a few off manifolds and heads for testing..

Very cool!

I think there could be more automation. But more automation requires more skilled labor. I'm an automation engineer and I've seen that with our company we only employ more folks because we can produce more quality product. I really see automation as an enabler for many companies to flourish. By this I mean folks can leave repetitive mundane tasks to go into another role in their company. For example; We pack seeds at my work and I made a few machines that allow the seed production folks more time to go out and garden if they want to. We have many roles at our company that need attention and if automation can help fee people from crazy labor, that, all in it's self, I hope is good.

sure not quite what Vic Sr. started with - - as the saying goes " you've come a long way " (we'll forego the "baby" part) . While I liked viewing the process and the machinery I believe some narration would have greatly enhanced the experience much more than my mute button. I do run Edelbrock 202 s on my Vette in fact till the blower went on it the whole top end was Edelbrock including the cam kit, heads, intake and carb. What I was shocked to see in the video was someone lifting and manipulating the head casting to remove flashing and excess aluminum - - would have thought a machine would do the square and trim .

Always wondered where those junk heads I bought came from.
