440 Victor heads are coming in 2006!
Edelbrock has the new big block victor heads for 2006. Look out Indy!
The new head has huge 280 cc intake runners, and Hughes said they could possibly flow 330 CFM out of the box. Now with some port work they hope to see close to 900 HP. Hughes also has a new main girdle coming out for the 440 so it can hold up to 900 HP. Just think what 900 HP can do in a 2450 lb car. |

The Victor heads are on the market right now!
I was hearing 2006, but they are ready now! Summit has them at an outstanding price. I'm buying mine from Hughes Engines.
I received an E-mail from Gregg at Edelbrock, this is all the info he has on them right now. 2.20 intake valve & 1.81 exaust valve. The flow was 340 CFM, but he didn't know at what lift. Good enough for me! |

Try this!
First off, I don't know why this post got moved to Vinage mopar chat.
Go to Edelbrock and get the part number for the new head. Then go to summit and use that part number to find the new head. |

Here's the info!
Let's move over to Performance talk where this should be in the first place.

Dave, you are correct. EB does not list the Victor heads on the website yet. That being the case, Summit doesn't have them. EB only lists the Preformer RPM heads in the open and closed chamber designs.

The low down on the Victor heads!
Let's start off with the facts.
1: 2.20 intake valves & 1.81 exaust valves 2: 280cc intake runners & 100cc exaust runners 3: dual quench 75cc chambers 4: can be machined for Max Wedge ports 5: fit both B & RB blocks 6: Part # 77919 This is the part I like. Hughes Engines reports a possible flow of 330 CFM out of the box. WOW! You can bet when Hughes Engines test these heads they will have these babies making power. I was sent an E-mail from Gregg Suyenaga (Edelbrock Tech) The only flow number he had was 340 CFM but no lift. Hopefully Hughes Engines will have a very good report on these in a couple weeks. Summit sells the heads bare for $1340.00 for the pair. Email www.hughesengines.com if there are any more questions. If you find out more, let us know. |

Seams like a better head then the performer. When did they come out I have not seen a PR? |

Odd that EB does not list the head on their website. Also odd that Hughes does not list it...
Summit does list it; however, they do not have them in stock. Estimated ship date is 12 December. That tells me that EB isn't in full production yet. |

on review they look like indy 440-1
have not see anything but this post still IMHO they seam to be targeted at indy's market. I think I would pay 300 more to get the 440-1 unless there is clear data that EB is better. Remember when Indy made parts for us and EB gave of the cold shoulder, now they come to play.

Page 8 http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...ew_Product.pdf A benefit over the indy ez is that they take a standard intake manifold. The disadvantage is that they need an offset intake rocker arm. But looks like a great head for a BB stroker! |

So far, I don't see these as being any better than the EZ head. |

That is right.

Now, add an 8-71 and will see if the new main girdle from Hughes can keep my block together. |

You're going the wrong way...
You want less static CR, if you are going with forced induction. Closed chambered heads aren't going to help you there... |

My favorite feature is the built-in spacer so the standard manifolds will bolt right on, instead of needing a spacer kit like the Mopar stage VI heads. |

Glad you joined this thread, so this head is a competitor for the stage VI and indy 440-1 then? |
#30
|

|
||||
Yes, although, I think it blows the Mopar Stage VI heads out of the water, as those are raised intake port heads, but they put the spring pocket in the factory height.
