Performer RPM Small Block Aluminum Straight Plug Cylinder Heads
  • 1986 & Earlier Small Block Chevy 302-400ci
  • Port Volumes: 195cc/65cc
  • Combustion Chamber size: 64cc
  • Straight Spark Plug
  • Polished
  • Bare Head, Sold Each

    Designed for non-emissions 302, 327, 350 and 400 c.i.d. engines up to 1986, these heads made 420 horsepower with the Performer RPM Power Package for small-block Chevys. Performer RPM heads with 64cc combustion chambers improve performance and retain stock compression ratio on 1970 and earlier small-blocks. Hardened pushrods are required.
    Installation Notes: When using stock rockers on S/B Chevy Performer & Performer RPM heads, .100' longer than stock pushrods are required. Due to valve-to-cylinder bore interference, SB-Chevy heads may not be used on engines with less than 4' bore (262, 265, 283, 305, 307 c.i.d.) except with camshafts having less than .450' valve lift.

    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.

    Emissions Note:

    This part is only legal for sale and use on Uncontrolled (Non-Emissions Controlled) Vehicles or on vehicles used solely for the purposes of closed competition racing.
