Cylinder Heads, Performer RPM, Edelbrock, Olds 400-455, Assembled

The Edelbrock Performer RPM Cylinder Head for 1965-76 Oldsmobile 400, 425 and 455 CID V8 engines is the perfect performance upgrade for big-block Olds-powered street machines and muscle cars. Available in Hydraulic Roller and Hydraulic Flat Tappet applications this aluminum cylinder head supersedes the previous 60515/60519 Olds heads and features a redesigned 77cc heart shaped combustion chamber, larger intake valves and refined bowl blending for improved flow. Intake and exhaust ports have been improved over previous designs, and extra material has been added above the intake port for head work. The Performer RPM head has improved clearance for a factory-style mechanical fuel pump and spark plug locations moved slightly towards the exhaust valve for optimized combustion. The valvetrain is upgraded from the factory pedestal-mount system to a 7/16" screw-in stud and 3/8" pushrod-slot guideplate for increased valvetrain stability. These heads are cast and machined by Edelbrock in the USA and comes complete with the highest quality intake and exhaust valves and valve springs.
