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. JEGS has spent decades supplying Edelbrock components to racers, engine builders, and street enthusiasts, backing this extensive lineup with in-house technical support, fast shipping, and a Price Match Guarantee so you can choose proven Edelbrock parts with confidence.

Until now, there weren't many options available when it came to aftermarket head selection for the Clevelands. Now, that's all changed with the Performer RPM head for 351C.

Designed to work with the 351C, 351M, and 400M, they feature very streetable 190cc intake runners with 2.05" intake and 1.60" exhaust valves that provide more than enough volume for outstanding power to 6500+ rpm. Not only do they offer superior flow over a stock Cleveland or 351/400M head, but they also offer the flexibility to work on the standard 302 or 351 Windsor block to build your own version of a Boss 302, or the infamous "Clevor" engine! The intake and exhaust ports are in the stock location to further add to the streetability of these heads, and can be made to breathe even better with minor port work. Made In The USA!
