FAQ

Can this head be used with my existing camshaft?

Yes, the 60229 head is compatible with most standard camshafts and does not require special rocker arms, making it a versatile upgrade for many engine builds.

Is the satin finish purely aesthetic?

The satin finish provides both a sleek look and practical benefits, including improved resistance to corrosion and easier cleaning compared to glossy finishes.

What is the recommended torque spec for the head bolts?

Edelbrock recommends tightening the head bolts in three stages to a final torque of 70 lb‑ft, following the manufacturer’s torque sequence for optimal sealing.

Will this head fit my 350 ci small‑block engine?

The 60229 is designed for a range of small‑block applications, including many 350 ci engines, but always verify clearance with your specific block and intake manifold.

Does the head require any special break‑in procedure?

Standard break‑in procedures apply: run the engine at varied RPMs for the first 20‑30 minutes and avoid high loads until the head has fully seated.
