Default edelbrock victor x intake manifold - problems with other brands throttle bodies?

I was all set to buy the victor X intake manifold, but now I'm seeing that it isn't compatible with other manufacturers' throttle bodies?

I was goin to get a 72mm str throttle body, but now I guess I can't because apparently edelbrock's vacuum ports don't line up like oem - so there will be a leak?

So now what? Do I need to run the edelbrock throttle body as well?

I've never heard of this. I have an Edelbrock throttle body and the ports line up just fine.

My Ericks Racing Throttle body works fine on my Victor X manifold, My friends also have BDL and Edelbrock throttle bodys on their Victor X manifolds and they all work well. When you port match to 75 you will have to cut in to the IAC passage way. I would recomend filling that are up with JB weld.

.....yeah, talking to edelbrock they are saying anything bigger than a 70mm at the plate will be too big.

A 72mm+ tb that necks downto 70 will work, however.
