Cast Iron Vortec Complete Assembly America's favorite high performance cast iron small-block cylinder head offers big power and bigger value. The Vortec cylinder head's fast burn combustion chamber and high velocity ports combine to produce big horsepower out of the box. The Vortec head can be mildly ported for additional performance and can be milled up to .040'' for increased compression ratio. The Vortec head uses 1.94'' intake valves and 1.50'' exhaust valves to compliment the high velocity port design. The Vortec head out-flows the bow-tie head out of the box and is a 20 to 40 horsepower bolt-on increase over earlier cast iron small-block heads. The Vortec requires a Vortec style intake manifold due to its improved manifold mounting flange and gasket design and raised intake ports. It is not recommended that the heads be modified to accept early design intake manifolds. Vortec heads fit all small-block engines produced 1955 to present, excluding LT1/LT4 reverse coolant flow engines and current LS1 style engines. Heads come completely assembled with valves, springs, retainers, and 3/8'' rocker studs. Requires the use of self-aligning rocker arms.
