In most cases, the passenger car Vortec head performs better than either ’492 & Bow-Tie heads. The factory passenger car Vortec head, castings number 12558062, is supplied with press-in rocker studs and can be machined for 1.94” or 2.02” intake valve or 1.50” or 1.60” exhaust valves. In most cases, it will perform better than either the '492, Bow-Tie or World Products S/R heads.
A stock Vortec head flows 218 cfm intake and 150 cfm exhaust. If you are looking for an increase in performance and must maintain stock looking ports, consider our “UnderCover" Porting. An “UnderCover" Ported Vortec head will flow 233 - 236 cfm on the intake and 165 -170 cfm exhaust, providing a 15 to 20 horsepower improvement. If your engine combination can use additional intake port volume and more air flow, the intake flow numbers can be improved to the 245 cfm range with additional hidden work.
To use a conventional intake manifold, the intake pattern on the Vortec head must be changed. However, we have performance, high-rise cast iron intakes in 2 and 4 barrel that will bolt on to the Vortec head. Our #201V-M is a performance, cast iron 2 barrel intake. Our part #401V-M is a perfomance 4 barrel intake. See our Vortec Intakes.
Our complete Vortec heads are machined for screw-in studs, supplied with ARP rocker studs, guide plates, steel retainers and machined locks. The Vortec castings are pressure tested and have a flow bench developed Serdi valve job designed for the Vortec head. Click here for more details on our complete heads.
