NEW EDELBROCK BIG BLOCK HEADS

[JARRETT LYNCH]

Did you see Edelbrock is coming out with a new 230cc cylinder heads for big block? What do you think?

Looks like they are open chamber? Why! Why don’t they give us a chamber that got a more efficient design similar to the sbf head later in the video.

Wonder how much $$$?

Another head. Since they offer the other BB heads in both chambers, I would assume this one will too. Very vague video. How much cfm? Will stock style rockers work?

Open chambers aren't going to be 73 cc's. Looks like they are made to combat the TF 240's. Those don't require offset rockers.

I'm very happy with my TF 240 heads. They're on my 512 and make great power for the price.

Great quality pieces. I recently bought some and installed on my 511.

The Trick Flows are CNC ported and the new Edelbrocks appear to be as cast. It would be interesting to compare flow numbers.

You didnt watch the video, they are CNC ported.

I did in fact watch the video. It says the combustion chambers are CNC machined, not that the runners are CNC ported. The picture looked just like my RPM heads with a minor port matching less than 1/4 inch into the port. To be sure I looked up the part number on their website and it confirms the ports are as cast.

Sounds like they are the performer RPM heads that are CNC ported?

I’m pretty sure that when pics of the actual production heads become available, the 73cc cnc ported chambers won’t look anything like the pic above(which looks like the 88cc open chamber).

We’ll all find out at some point.

Hope so: It just wouldn't make sense with all that has been learned in the last 30 or so years regarding chamber shape to bring a new product out with a 50's designed chamber.

Typical SEMA launch teasing a new product without any actual data or credible photos. They do show a price on their website, but it also says not in stock.

That looks like a crappy 440 source head. I don't think thats going to be the final product. We shall see. They usually offer several different chamber sizes like the past performer head.

If these new Edelbrock heads don't have any cnc porting then there is no reason to buy one over the Trick flow heads since they are almost the same pricing.
