What does 'bare' mean for this cylinder head?

A 'bare' cylinder head means it comes without any internal components installed. This includes valves, valve springs, retainers, seals, and typically the valve guides and seats are not pressed in. It's a blank casting ready for a professional to machine and assemble.

What is the Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process?

The HIP process is a method used to improve the density and integrity of metal castings. It involves applying high pressure and temperature to eliminate internal voids and defects, resulting in a stronger and more reliable component, especially beneficial for high-stress racing applications.

What kind of professional preparation is needed for this head?

This head is designed for custom CNC porting and requires professional machining to achieve optimal airflow for your specific engine build. You will also need to have the included valve guides and seats professionally installed and the entire valve train assembled.

Product Details

If you're building a high-performance Small-Block Ford engine for racing or serious street use, you know the cylinder heads are critical. The Edelbrock Glidden-Victor II Pro-Port cylinder head is built for the professional engine builder who plans to custom port and tune every aspect of airflow. This head is cast in the USA at Edelbrock's own foundry, featuring extra-thick walls specifically to allow for extensive CNC porting and custom machining to your exact specifications. It's designed to accommodate nearly any port shape, size, or location, giving you the ultimate flexibility in airflow design.

This is a bare head, meaning it comes without valves, springs, or installed guides and seats. However, manganese-bronze valve guides and seats are typically included, just not installed, so you'll need to have them professionally fitted. The Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) process used on this head adds strength and integrity to the casting, making it a solid foundation for aggressive porting. This head is essentially a blank canvas for a professional porter to create a truly unique and high-flowing cylinder head tailored for your specific engine build.

Because this head is designed for extensive modification by a professional porter, it cannot be used as-is. You'll need to work with a specialist to prepare the ports, install the valve train components, and ensure everything is set up correctly for your application. This is not a direct bolt-on part for most builds; it's a premium component for those aiming for the absolute best in custom engine performance.
