NEW LS-R Edelbrock head? Hello,
Has anyone seen the new Edelbrock LS-R race head?
It's a canted valve, raised runner deal with big room for 1" lift valve train, ..
450+cfm ports, ..2.23" x 1.625" valves, etc, ..
But it's designed for bore sizes 4.125" and larger
Could make 1000+ on a big inch build, ..
question is anyone building combos like this, .. what is the current head used,
thoughts on the LS-R head ????

We got one at our shop months ago and had a good look at it and they were areas in the casting that thin and needed revised. They made some changes and we got the newer one a week ago. I'm looking forward to working on it. Should be a great head.

Not until Spring and there's no intakes for them yet.

and will have a finished head in the Edelbrock booth at PRI.
I understand Edelbrock is also working on a cast intake for this, ..
but wouldn't a sheetmetal be the way to go with this on a 500" shortblock??

Awfully defense over there...
Ok... not a copy ... if you say so Curtis. Funny how the Performance Induction canted valve LSX heads were out two years BEFORE the Rick Roberts' LSR head. Guess Cary should take this as the greatest form of compliment.

So the Intake and exhaust valves are not different angles right? Rectangular intake ports round exhaust-These heads look they are for serious N/A power. And of course any other type too.

Cool, thanks for the info on that one. So, it looks like it 'for an LS engine', but they say its for Cup stuff. So I guess Im unfamiliar with the connection between LS and the Cup stuff, can someone fill in some blanks for me?? Thanks.
