About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to wake up the performance of your 1955-1986 Small-Block Chevy, these Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads are a solid choice. They are designed to improve throttle response and deliver noticeable power gains across a broad RPM range, specifically from 1500 all the way up to 6500 rpm. This makes them a great option for street performance builds, daily drivers, street rods, and muscle cars where you want that seat-of-the-pants feel.

These heads are built with a 170cc intake runner volume and a 60cc combustion chamber, which is a popular combination for achieving a good balance of low-end torque and top-end horsepower for many street applications. They come complete with high-quality intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, and rocker studs, so you're getting a well-built assembly ready to go. The exhaust port location is designed to be stock, which helps simplify installation by aligning with your existing exhaust system. They also use a standard 14mm x 3/4 reach gasket seat spark plug, making finding replacements easy.

This particular set is configured for a flat tappet camshaft setup. Edelbrock is a well-known name in performance parts, and these Performer RPM heads are a popular choice for builders looking for a significant performance improvement over stock castings. Remember that these heads are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
