Ideal for high-compression applications, these heads feature a 100cc chamber volume and come with ports profiled to increase air flow in a lightweight design. Edelbrock 60439 Performer High-Compression 454-O Cylinder Head. Number of Springs Per Valve. Uses 14mm spark plugs with 3/4 reach, and flat gasket seals. By Bill on July 23, 2020.
The heads are very nice for a high compression application being 100cc. They should work well for the application I'm building.
On each head one of the oil return orifices needs to be worked with a grinding tool to open it up a bit. The ports all look like some light sanding will clean up very nicely. Edelbrock should still offer the bare head 60429 these 60439's come with valves and springs which are not needed for my setup. Yes, I recommend this product.
