Edelbrock Single Perf Pontiac 72cc Head Bare

Edelbrock has been a name in performance parts for a long time, known for their intake manifolds and carburetors. Now, they're bringing that expertise to your Pontiac V8 with these Performer RPM cylinder heads. These bare heads are specifically designed to give a serious performance boost to 1962 through 1979 Pontiac engines displacing between 389 and 455 cubic inches. If you're looking to wake up your street performance car, daily driver, or muscle car, these heads are patterned after the legendary Ram Air IV heads from 1969-70, aiming to deliver noticeable throttle response and power across a wide RPM range, from about 1500 all the way up to 6500 rpm.

What sets these heads apart is their focus on building compression for more power, featuring a 72cc combustion chamber. They're built with thicker deck surfaces than many other heads on the market, giving you a solid foundation for your engine build. Edelbrock also includes the highest quality intake and exhaust valves and valve springs, so you're starting with good components right out of the box. While these are sold as bare heads, meaning you'll need to source your own valvetrain components, they offer a strong base for a custom build that prioritizes seat-of-the-pants performance.

These heads are a great option for a wide range of Pontiac vehicles, including popular models like the Firebird, GTO, and Catalina from the mid-60s to the late 70s. Remember that these heads are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll want to ensure you have all the necessary valvetrain components and gaskets to complete the installation properly.
