Edelbrock Cylinder Head Victor Jr SBC 23 Deg 220cc Complete for Solid Roller Cam

If you're building a high-performance small-block Chevy engine, the Edelbrock Victor Jr. 23-degree 220cc cylinder head is a solid option. This head is designed for applications needing serious power, fitting a wide range of classic small-block Chevy engines from the 1950s through the mid-1980s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Chevelle, and C10 Pickup. It's built to handle a solid roller camshaft and is ideal for larger displacement engines where maximum power output is the goal.

What sets this Victor Jr. head apart is the CNC machining on the combustion chambers and intake ports. This process ensures incredible consistency from cylinder to cylinder, which directly translates to improved performance and reliability. The 64cc combustion chamber is designed to yield a compression ratio around 10:1 with typical flat-top pistons, or about 12.5:1 when paired with common 12cc dome pistons, making it suitable for various build strategies. It maintains the stock 23-degree valve angle and the intake manifold bolt pattern for 1986 and earlier manifolds, simplifying installation with many common components. The exhaust ports are raised by .300 inches, which can help improve exhaust scavenging.

This complete cylinder head assembly is rated for a potential of 530-580 horsepower right out of the box, making it a powerful choice for budget-conscious builds that still demand high-quality components. It uses a stud and guide plate rocker arm system, which is a common and robust setup for performance engines. Keep in mind that this head is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
