Performer High-Compression Cylinder Heads
- Big Block Chevy 396-502ci
1987-1995 454 TBI engines will yield 8.8:1 compression ratio - 100cc Combustion Chambers
- Port Volume: 290cc/110cc
- Bare, Sold Individually

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.Tech Tip: To gain more spark plug clearance, Edelbrock recommends using Champion RC Series plugs such as the RC12YC (P/N 192-49776). They are 0.230' shorter than a conventional spark plug and have a 5/8' hex for easier access.
