Since founder Vic Edelbrock Sr. began building performance intake manifolds in 1938, Edelbrock has grown into one of the most trusted names in American high-performance parts, from carburetors and intake manifolds to cylinder heads, crate engines, and EFI systems.

These street high-performance heads provide out-of-the-box, bolt-on power for AMC muscle cars and Jeep V8s. They offer improved power throughout the rpm range for great throttle response and top-end horsepower. The intake and exhaust runners are CNC-profiled for superior flow and the efficient 54cc dual-quench combustion chamber produces around a 9.5:1 compression ratio in 401 V8s with stock style pistons. Hardened valve seats are compatible with any fuel and a 45° intake seat angle (stock is 30°) offers improved mid- to high-lift flow.
