To accommodate the smaller bores valve spacing on this head have been reduced to 1.817 inches while maintaining the early-style Gen 1 (1959-86) valve cover bolt pattern so that you can use your favorite small-block Chevy valve covers. These new Performer RPM head also retain the stock straight spark plug angle and exhaust flange bolt pattern for ease of use with factory-style exhaust systems.

Available bare (#61009) with springs for flat-tappet (#61019) or with springs for hydraulic roller camshaft (#61015); this head can also be used with larger-bore engines if desired.
