Edelbrock Performer RPM Cylinder Head #60819

The Edelbrock #60815 Performer RPM cylinder heads are designed for 1958-1965 Chevrolet "W" Series 348/409 engines. The Performer RPM heads are perfect for street performance, daily drivers and muscle cars where more performance is needed.

Upgrade your 1958–1965 Chevrolet W-Series 348/409 big-block with the Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder head. These complete, assembled heads deliver strong street performance with excellent throttle response and power from 1,500 to 6,500 RPM, making them a popular choice for muscle cars, street rods, and daily drivers (supporting roughly 400–600 hp).They feature an improved port design with CNC port-matched 220cc intake and 115cc exhaust runners, original port locations and valve angles for straightforward bolt-on installation, plus high-quality 2.19" intake / 1.72" exhaust valves and springs rated for up to 0.600" lift.

  • 16cc combustion chambers
  • Hardened spring cups, screw-in rocker studs, and guideplates

Notes: For pre-pollution-controlled vehicles only. On 348 engines, limit valve lift to .550" and use a compatible large-port intake (such as Edelbrock #5409 or #7159, or a stock large-port 409 manifold). Verify cylinder-wall notching for proper valve clearance.
