Chevy Heads - So Fine 409

Edelbrock creates a new head for the W-motor even after its 40-plus-year hibernation. This should revive plenty of interest in the old mills.We first heard the rumors about fresh Edelbrock aluminum heads for the Chevy 348 and 409 W-motor a year ago. To be frank, our ears perked up big time, but we honestly didn't believe the rumblings and chalked them up to wishful thinking. After all, why would Vic and the boys tool up for an engine family that's been dormant since 1965? But when a semifinished aluminum 409 cylinder head casting was spotted at the '07 SEMA show, we knew this was no fairy tale. It's true-the new Edelbrock Performer RPM 348/409 Chevy heads are on sale right now.
