Chevrolet Performance LS7 Cylinder Heads

Great cylinder head airflow has been a key enabler of the LS-Series' exceptional performance. Chevrolet Performance delivers those power-building attributes to you with a range of production-style aluminum heads. From the LS6 heads for smaller-displacement engines, to LS7 style heads for 427 in. and-larger combinations, these bare cast aluminum heads benefit from extensive research and development—ensuring maximum airflow without compromises. In fact, many professional builders use these heads as straight bolt-ons with no further machining. The engine cylinder heads are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These replacements are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by GM for select vehicles.
