Description

Upgrade your Big Block Chevy engine with a fully assembled aluminum cylinder head engineered for flat tappet camshaft applications. Featuring 345cc intake runners, 124cc heart-shaped combustion chambers, and rectangle intake ports, these performance cylinder heads are designed to support the airflow demands of 396, 402, 427, 454, 468, 496, and 540 cubic inch Big Block Chevy engine combinations.

The large runner design helps maximize airflow and cylinder filling, supporting stronger torque production, improved throttle response, and increased horsepower potential across a wide RPM range. The rectangle intake ports and performance-oriented chamber design make these heads an excellent choice for street performance vehicles, muscle cars, hot rods, drag racing applications, and marine engines.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, these cylinder heads help reduce weight while dissipating heat more efficiently than traditional cast iron heads. Stainless steel valves, bronze valve guides, steel valve seats, and matched flat tappet valve springs provide durability and reliability for demanding performance applications.

Delivered fully assembled with valves and valve springs installed, these Big Block Chevy cylinder heads provide a strong performance foundation for 454 street engines, 496 stroker combinations, and larger displacement BBC builds seeking increased airflow and proven aluminum cylinder head performance.

Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, upgrading a performance street machine, or assembling a high-output Big Block Chevy engine, these assembled aluminum cylinder heads deliver the airflow capacity and durability serious BBC enthusiasts demand.
