This item looks great in chrome. While installing, the last 2-3 turns end up hitting the intake manifold (Edelbrock Performer 531W). The only way to seat it all the way is to dent in the port to miss the intake. Either the port needs to be a tad shorter or shank needs to be taller to install properly. The item is installed and works great.
