Aluminum Cylinder Heads for Chevrolets

Designed for non-emissions 302, 327, 350 and 400 c.i.d. engines up to 1986, these heads made 420 horsepower with the Performer RPM Power Package for small-block Chevys. Available with straight plugs to clear all types of exhaust headers or angled plugs. Performer RPM heads with 64cc combustion chambers improve performance and retain stock compression ratio on 1970 and earlier small-blocks. Hardened pushrods are required, see chart for more specs.

Performer Small-Block Chevy Centerbolt Heads

50-state street legal aluminum heads for 1987-95 Chevy 5.7L engines (except LT1, LT4 and LT5 Corvettes) originally equipped with centerbolt valve covers and the 1987 and later intake manifold bolt pattern. The high-velocity intake runner is designed to work with either T.B.I. or Tuned Port Injection systems. The 60cc combustion chamber maintains the stock compression ratio when used with the recommended head gasket. They accept stock centerbolt or Edelbrock aluminum valve covers #4246 and #4247. Available with straight plugs only. See chart for more specs.

Important Notes:

  • Part numbers are for a pair of cylinder heads.
  • When using stock rockers on S/B Chevy Performer & Performer RPM heads, .100" longer than stock pushrods are required.
  • Due to valve-to-cylinder bore interference, S/B Chevy heads may not be used on engines with less than 4" bore (262, 265, 283, 305, 307 c.i.d.) except with camshafts having less than .450" valve lift.
  • Please use Head Bolt Kit #8550 for an easy installation.

    *Not legal for sale or use on pollution controlled vehicles.

Performer Centerbolt For Corvette

The unique intake runner design of these Edelbrock aluminum heads greatly increases performance with the Tuned Port Injection systems used in the Corvette. The 60cc combustion chamber maintains stock compression ratio when used with the recommended gasket. 50-state street legal, these heads are designed for 1987-91 5.7L Corvettes (except LT1, LT4 and LT5 Corvettes) originally equipped centerbolt valve covers and the early style "straight" manifold bolt pattern.

Small-Block Chevrolet Race Heads

Big-Block Chevrolet - Street

Performer RPM 454-O

Designed for big-block Chevy 396-502 c.i.d. engines, these oval port heads will support over 540 horsepower with 9.5:1 compression when used as part of the Performer RPM Power Package. A totally unique intake port design yields flow numbers traditionally associated with high performance rectangular port heads, but with the smaller runner size and velocity of an oval port for excellent seat-of-the-pants performance and crisp throttle response. The semi-open chamber design maximizes combustion efficiency with streetable compression ratios. The stainless steel 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves have smaller-than-stock 11/32" valve stems to promote excellent flow and lighter valve weight. The deck surface and water jackets were specially designed to work with all big-block Chevrolet engine blocks. Heads include top-quality ARP rocker studs. See chart for more specs.

Performer TBI

Designed for 1987-95 TBI-equipped big-blocks, these new 50-state emissions legal (E.O. #D-215-33) heads have a 100cc combustion chamber for an increase of over one full point of compression to 8.8:1 on 7.4L TBI engines. The result is a dramatic performance improvement in these late-model vehicles. These heads and our Multi-Point EFI on a 7.4L engine made 353 hp and 457 ft/lbs. of torque on the dyno. Available assembled with top-quality components that include 1-piece, stainless steel, 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves, ARP 7/16" diameter rocker studs and ductile iron seats with a three-angle valve job. Features include stock port locations and 9/16" thick decks for superior gasket retention. Mark IV rocker arms and valve train parts are required.
