Chevy Small-Block v-8<br />
Service Replacement Heads<br />
These cylinder heads are direct replacements for OEM heads<br />
on 1987-and-newer GM Small-Block V-8 engines. Save time and<br />
worry by replacing tired or damaged cylinder heads w<strong>it</strong>h new<br />
ones from GM Performance Parts.<br />
Service Replacement Head Technical Notes:<br />
• Cast-iron<br />
• Use 1.94"/1.50" valves<br />
• Straight spark plug design<br />
• No heat risers provided<br />
The Phase 3 Cast-iron Bowtie Head<br />
The Phase 3 Bowtie cylinder head is a true cast-iron performance<br />
head that’s designed for off-highway, <strong>com</strong>pet<strong>it</strong>ion use only. Racers<br />
who are required to run a production-style cast-iron cylinder head<br />
can obtain optimum performance w<strong>it</strong>h this head because <strong>it</strong> outflows<br />
all production cast-iron heads. The Phase 3 casting is extra<br />
thick, which allows ample room for port modifications.<br />

Vortec Cylinder Heads<br />
An easy way to gain 20-40 horsepower on any 1955-and-newer<br />
Small-Block Chevrolet V-8 (except later-style LT1/LT4 engines<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h reverse-flow cooling) is by installing a set of Vortec cylinder<br />
heads. These value-priced cast-iron cylinder heads use modified<br />
<strong>com</strong>bustion chambers and high veloc<strong>it</strong>y port technology to provide<br />
improved performance. Vortec cylinder heads significantly outflow<br />
non-Vortec service replacement cylinder heads and earlier OEM<br />
cast-iron heads. These cylinder heads are ideal for applications<br />
up to 350 horsepower, but they require Vortec-specific intake<br />
manifolds.<br />

“Smile When You Call It Detro<strong>it</strong> Iron,” smirked the ads<br />
featuring the first Camaro Super Sport. Right out of<br />
the gate, the ’67 Camaro lineup burst onto the ponycar<br />
scene w<strong>it</strong>h a host of performance options that<br />
brought smiles to the faces of performance-car fans<br />
across America. At the heart of those options was the<br />
’67 Camaro SS motivated by the immortal 350-cubicinch<br />
Small-Block engine—an engine displacement<br />
created just for the new Camaro.<br />
There were more than 80 different factory options<br />
for the ’67 Camaro, but the 350 SS was the classic<br />
<strong>com</strong>bination. Supported by heavy-duty springs and<br />
shocks, and fed by a Rochester four-barrel carburetor,<br />
the SS 350’s 295-horsepower Small-Block propelled<br />
this classic to 15.4-second quarter-mile ETs, as tested<br />
by Motor Trend. Test drivers had a hard time putting<br />
down all 380 lb-ft of torque from beneath the SS<br />
hood. It wouldn’t be the last time tires had trouble<br />
handling the output of a Camaro SS.<br />
