VORTEC CYLINDER HEADS
Americas favorite high performance cast iron small-block cylinder
head offers big power at an incredible value. The modified
combustion chambers and high velocity port technology offer
impressive power gains at an affordable price. The Vortec head
significantly outflows our non-Vortec service replacement head
and offers a 20-40 horsepower increase over earlier cast iron
heads. They will fit 1955-and-later small-blocks except for the
LT1/LT4 and LS Family of engines. Take your small-block to the
350 horsepower level with a set of Vortec cylinder heads. These
heads require Vortec specific intake manifolds.
