The Edelbrock Performer Pontiac Cylinder Heads utilize a D-Port exhaust port configuration for use with standard D-port exhaust systems. They are designed for 1962-79 389, 400, 421, 428 and 455 c.i.d. V8 Pontiac engines with a 4.060" or larger bore. They feature optimized oil return passages for increased oil flow. The spark plug has been relocated closer to the exhaust valve for improved performance. These heads are cast with extra thick port walls and a compact port size, making them ideal for CNC and hand porting. Complete cylinder head includes guide plates, rocker studs and high quality valvetrain for direct bolt-on application. Heat crossover is machined for 50-state emissions legal performance.
