The Edelbrock 3848 is a low profile aluminum throttle body elbow with a satin finish for applications with limited hood clearance. It adapts LS1 80 mm (with Edelbrock 2737 adapter), Edelbrock 3869 90 mm universal, and Ford-style 75 mm throttle bodies to square-bore (4150-style) manifolds. The throttle bore center sits 7.00 in forward of and 2.00 in above the 4150 manifold flange, and the throttle body points down at a 5 degree angle. It can be mounted forward, backward or sideways on Edelbrock Victor EFI square-bore manifolds.
Notes:
- LS1 80 mm throttle bodies require Edelbrock adapter 2737.
- Small-block and big-block Chevy forward-mount configurations require a 1 in spacer to clear the water neck.
- Can be used with the Edelbrock 29085 Victor Jr. LS1 manifold, but cowl trimming and an SS hood are required.
- Gasket included. Sold individually.
- The 3847 ultra low profile elbow places the throttle bore 9.00 in forward and 0.56 in above the flange.
