Technical Notes: Use Edelbrock head gasket sets. May be used on 348 engines with valve lifts up to .550" only. Bare heads will have valve guides and seats installed, but will require final sizing and a valve job to match the valves you will be using. Recommended spark plugs are Champion RC12YC or equivalent 14mm x 3/4" reach with flat gasket seat. These heads will only fit 1958-65 348 cid "W" engines if an Edelbrock #5409, #7159 or stock large port 409 cid manifold is used. Proper cylinder wall notching must be checked to ensure exhaust valve to cylinder clearance. |
