Performer RPM CNC Cylinder Heads have the same specifications as the popular Performer RPM cylinder heads for 389-455 Pontiac engines, but feature a CNC machined combustion chamber. The CNC machined chamber results in a consistent and precise chamber for improved flow performance. Performer RPM CNC cylinder heads are available in two chamber sizes. The 87cc chamber version is ideal for 9.5:1 engines and will deliver excellent street performance on low octane fuel. Performer RPM CNC cylinder heads with 72cc chambers are best for higher compression engines. Both are patterned after the same port flange configuration as the 1969-1970 Ram-Air IV Pontiac Cylinder Head.

INSTALLATION NOTE: These heads require Ram Air IV (round port) style exhaust manifolds or headers and Edelbrock head bolt kit 350-8549. Match with Edelbrock complete head gasket set 350-7382.

Performer heads #60579/60575 are 50-state emissions legal for 1965-79 vehicles. They have 87cc combustion chambers designed to maximize performance while using less expensive, low octane fuel with a streetable 9.5:1 compression ratio.

Performer RPM heads with 72cc combustion chamber are for higher compression engines. Performer RPM #60509 is semi-machined and must be finished by a professional head porter.
