Reference Information

Cylinder Heads, Bare, Aluminum, Natural, Ford, Flathead V8, Pair

Edelbrock Ford flathead cylinder heads feature your choice of the original Edelbrock script logo or the block-style logo. Designed for both Fords and Mercurys, these heads are rugged, ribbed internally and externally, with a large water capacity, and excellent breathing characteristics. Available with 74 cc or 65 cc chamber volumes, the 65cc heads support an 8.0:1 compression ratio on blocks with a 3/16 in. base relief (stock bore and stroke); compression ratio increase is approximately 3/10 of a percent with each 1/8 in. of stroke increase.

The high lift/large chamber versions feature a new "raised roof" combustion chamber design and are CNC-machined for high lift cams. Perfect for reducing compression in supercharger applications or for low octane fuel, they offer increased valve clearance and improved flow capacity. Match these heads with Edelbrock's popular Ford flathead intake manifolds.

Edelbrock Ford flathead cylinder heads are cast at the Edelbrock foundry in the USA of T-6 tempered A356 aluminum. They're available for a wide range of vehicles from the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.
