Pontiac Performer Aluminum Cylinder Heads
These cylinder heads are designed for outstanding performance gains in 1962-79 389-455 c.i.d. Pontiac engines. They are patterned after the 1969-70 Ram Air IV Pontiac cylinder head. This Performer head is 50-state emissions legal for 1965-79 vehicles. It features 87cc combustion chambers designed to maximize performance while using less expensive, low-octane fuel with a streetable 9.5:1 compression ratio.
Tech Tip: These heads require Ram Air IV (round port) style exhaust manifolds or headers and Edelbrock head bolt kit 350-8549.
To gain more spark plug clearance, Edelbrock recommends using Champion RC Series plugs, such as the RC12YC. They are 0.230'' shorter than conventional spark plugs and have a 5/8'' hex for easier access.
