Edelbrock/Chapman Victor 15° CNC Cylinder Heads Take Small-Block Chevys To The Next Level In Performance INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Dec. 5, 2002) – The latest in CNC technology married with the best of Edelbrock ingenuity results in the all-new Edelbrock/Chapman 15° CNC cylinder heads for small-block Chevrolet applications, which were introduced today in the Edelbrock booth (#1517) at the PRI trade show in Indianapolis. Starting with Edelbrock’s legendary Victor 18° head, Edelbrock rolled over the casting an additional three degrees and raised the valve seat to create two new heads offering potential performance gains well beyond the 18° design. Fully CNC machined by Chapman Racing Heads in the intake, exhaust and combustion chamber, these heads feature coolant passages around the two center exhaust seats and the center of the intake flange for auxiliary coolant plumbing. A high-flow port design with a reduced chamber volume makes the 283 cc intake and 43cc chamber head (PN 61119) the ideal choice for virtually all forms of racing while the 317 cc intake, 45cc chamber head (PN 61139) is better suited to high-rpm stick-shift drag racing applications.
