That video didn't mention anything about producing cars.
Just battery storage units for electrical systems.
Components!

It's cool cept when they drill all the holes to mount the intake in the wrong spots and you have to grind out a $400+ intake to make it fit the engine... my RPM was like that and i believe it was PBR that got 3 victor intakes with the same issue....
I will never not be pissed bout this
For me I actually hit the swap meets and local ads for used aluminum intakes. I found a nice one for my 360. Plus I found a spare locally for a good price. After a good cleaning, bead blasting and hi temp paint, it looks and performs great.
And I don't blame you. There is no excuse for poor quality control. Someone someone didn't care that day and made it wrong. It shouldn't have been boxed and sent out. Rework or melt it down and recast and correct the mistake immediately. No excuses.I will never not be pissed bout this
So much for quality controlIt's cool cept when they drill all the holes to mount the intake in the wrong spots and you have to grind out a $400+ intake to make it fit the engine... my RPM was like that and i believe it was PBR that got 3 victor intakes with the same issue....

There are hundreds of car companies over there, China is the country with the largest automotive industry in the world. GM helped out when they started building Buicks over there in 1997. They now also build Chevrolet and Cadillac in China.
Meanwhile, Stellantis used to make Jeeps over there but shut down the factory because of too much government interference.

Just like all castings. These do have alot of porosity issues. Also, keep in mind, both China and Korea now have a city called USA so they can put made in USA labels on their products.

Where are these cities, I hadn't heard of them. Japan does have a city named USA, but it goes back hundreds of years. Products have to have country of origin on them, not cities of origin.

I agree with that,but Edy is in California i believe where everything costs too much. Perhaps its an American company having these intakes made in China as i think 440 source does with their quite good stroker kits?

I will choose to be how i want... it will include not dealing with edelbrock with QC like this... Just because you haven't had issues doesn't mean other people haven't gotten bad parts
Come on Edelbrock. Get your act together.
Almost have another set of Edelbrock heads ready for a valve job so I figured while I still had my coveralls on I would get a jump on the Victor340 intake manifold. Man I’m about disgusted in the direction Edelbrock and their quality control or lack of it is heading. Look at these out of the box...

And all mounting holes drilled .115 offset.. leading to this... And then not covering it under RMA... yeah.. hell of a company...
