Technical Notes: Match with Edelbrock head gasket sets. 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. To use stock rockers on small-block Chevy heads, .100" longer than stock pushrods are required. Edelbrock pushrods #9629 are recommended. Use Head Bolt Kits on page 164 for easy installation. Recommended spark plugs are Champion RC12YC or equivalent 14mm x 3/4" reach with flat gasket seat. S/B Chevy heads may not be used on engines with less than 4" bore (262, 265, 283, 305, 307 c.i.d.) except with cams having less than .450" valve lift.
