16° Big Block Chevy Heads
New design combines elements from race heads and exotic setups for Sportsman racers
MERLIN-X CYLINDER HEADS
This all-new design from World’s engineering team combines flow characteristics common to expensive race-only heads with exotic splayed valve setups designed to accept up to 2.350" and 1.880" valves, as well as “standard” Mark IV intake systems. This has been accomplished through “rolling” the head to a 16° valve angle, designing highly efficient intake and exhaust ports and using a special 90cc combustion chamber.
The company says "you’ll probably need to get a set of pistons that take advantage of the chamber design, but other than that you can use most of everything from a standard big block Chevy, so when you add up the performance potential versus total cash outlay, it’s clearly the HOT setup for Sportsman racers!"
The 80cc Combustion Chamber is Unique to the MERLIN- X Head. “Out of the box” flow numbers are said to be excellent but there’s plenty material for the serious performance enthusiast to dig into.
