Speedmaster PCE281.1755 Compatible with Chevy SBC 350 Vortec 180cc 64cc Straight Cast Iron Bare Cylinder Head

All Speedmaster 23deg. Small Block Chevy heads are available with Straight or Angled sparkplugs. Standard valve sizes are 2.020 in. Intake, and 1.600 in. Exhaust, both +.100 in. length. While the 2.02" valves are standard issue, all of our 23deg. aluminum heads can accept a 2.050 in. intake valve with minimal additional work. HEAD GASKETSThe head gasket we recommend for our 23deg. heads used on 327/350/383/400 SBC engines without steam holes is Felpro #1003. On engines using the GM 400 block, or aftermarket blocks with steam holes, use Speedmaster PCE348.1006 or Felpro #1014.INTAKE GASKETSOur heads are manufactured with both the conventional intake manifold bolt pattern, and the Vortec bolt pattern. If you're installing a Vortec manifold, use Felpro #1255 gaskets. If you are using a convential intake manifold, use Speedmaster PCE349.1002 or Felpro #1266 gaskets.PUSH RODSOur aluminum 23deg. heads typically use +.100" (longer than stock) pushrods, Depending on the components used, it is possible that you may need pushrods shorter or longer than that so we recommend that you use an adjustable pushrod to dial in your rocker geometry and order pushrods to match.SPARK PLUGSAll Speedmaster 23deg. SBC heads use standard 14mm. x 750" reach, 5/8 hex, gasket seat sparkplugs like NGK R5671A-7, Autolite 3924, Champion RC12YC, etc. Remember that higher compression/ boost require a colder heat range sparkplug.HEAD BOLTS / STUDSOur 23 degree heads utilize standard head bolts or studs. Our part number for head bolts is PCE279.1002, and the head studs are PCE279.1001. For the 15 degree heads, we recommend SM2451-15DEG. headstud kit with 3/8" reduced shank on the studs between intake ports. The ARP head bolt part number is 134-3601, and ARP head studs 234-4301 for the 23 degree heads. ARP also makes a head stud kit that is compatible with our 15deg. heads on cast iron blocks with part number 234-4723.EXHAUST GASKETSWe recomend the use of our Exhaust gaskets # SM5120 or Fel-Pro #1405 on our 23 degree heads.
