TORRANCE, Calif. (Nov. 4, 2003) – Once again leading the pack, Edelbrock is now producing performance products for Chrysler Magnum V8s, including heads and a manifold. The new products will be on display in the Edelbrock booth #22243 during the SEMA Show in Las Vegas (Nov. 4-7). Performer RPM Chrysler Magnum Heads for 1992 & later 5.2L (318 c.i.d.) and 1993 & later 5.9L (360 c.i.d.) Chrysler Magnum V8s offer substantial performance improvements for street/strip and off-road performance use and are an easy bolt-on upgrade, right out of the box. The heads feature 180cc intake ports and 75cc exhaust ports with 58cc combustion chambers, yielding a slight increase in compression over the factory heads. They are available bare (#61779) or complete and assembled with high quality components like stainless steel 2.02” intake and 1.60” exhaust valves, seals, springs and retainers (#61779). These heads offer more flow than stock and will accept either adjustable aftermarket rocker arms or stock Magnum valve train parts. All Edelbrock heads are sold individually. Stock Magnum intake and exhaust port locations make these heads an ideal choice for use with Edelbrock’s new RPM Air-Gap manifold. This new manifold, #7577, allows the use of a carburetor on these originally fuel-injected engines, making them the perfect upgrade for early muscle cars and street rods. The dual-plane manifold design incorporates the same race-winning technology that’s been used on Edelbrock Victor Series competition intakes for years, offering outstanding performance in the 1,500 to 6,500 rpm range. The air-gap design features an open air space that separates the runners from the hot engine oil resulting in a cooler, denser charge for more power.
