DMAX Edelbrock heads - replacement a step above!!! DIESEL Motorsports

Edelbrock has long held the name for quality performance parts for many decades! NOW they have decided to get into diesel performance with a part they know quite well - performance heads!



New Edelbrock Cylinder Head for GM 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engines, Edelbrock proudly introduces its first-ever high-performance cylinder head developed especially for the diesel engine market! It took them over 3 years to develop this product and heads for other engines are in development.

The all-new Edelbrock Diesel Cylinder Head (#79029 for 2001-2004 LB7 pictured) Chevrolet and GMC 2500/3500 HD trucks between 2001 and 2016 GM 6.6L Duramax V8 engines. These applications are a direct bolt-on replacement for any street or off-road application where higher levels of performance and durability are desired.

For those who want more out of their Dmax powertrain but yet remain legal for a street truck or offroad these were built for higher performance than OEM. 

Edelbrock's new Diesel Cylinder Head is compatible with all stock Duramax valvetrain components as well as valve covers, water crossover, injectors and plugs(f). Each A356 aluminum cylinder head casting is heat- and pressure-treated to reduce porosity while also increasing both strength and fatigue properties.


Specs: #79029
Intake Port Volume Combined: 230cc 
Exhaust Port Volume Combined: 117cc 
Deck Thickness: 16mm  
Valve Size: Intake - 33mm, Exhaust - 31mm 
Spring Specs: 1st Load: 105 lbs @ 1.650” Installed Height 
2nd Load: 210 lbs @ 1.250” 
Spring Solid Height (Coil Bind): 1.000” 
Max Lift Recommended: .600” (.050” Clearance) 

Intake and exhaust runners are designed to optimize flow and swirl, but engine builders and head porters will also appreciate the extra deck and port wall material for custom porting and deck strength.

Best of all, the new Edelbrock Diesel Cylinder Head is CARB legal, making them the perfect choice for a street performance upgrade to your Chevy or GMC Duramax Diesel engine.

Designed, cast, machined and assembled in the USA, Injector cups are integrated into the castings for LB7 applications.  Castings are treated to Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) process for strength and heat-treated to T7 hardness for the extreme diesel operating environment. Thick 15.5mm deck for increased cylinder pressures plus raised rocker valley adds water volume in head. 



I don't know about you but I'm excited to see a well known performance company dip into the diesel performance market. Their production expertise is well known and appreciated in the motorsports markets. When you want the best and can rely on it then buy the best for your truck.
