Edelbrock’s "Performer" RPM cylinder heads are designed to boost the performance of your Buick power plant. Designed for 400-430-455 engines, the 68cc combustion chambers produce 9.2:1 compression ratio with stock pistons. Cylinder heads are available bare or completely assembled with 2.125" intake valves and 1.75" exhaust valves. Another great feature is big 130cc exhaust ports, which allow the engine to breathe and increases power. Perfect for street and strip cars.
