Description

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! The all-new Edelbrock Diesel Cylinder Head #79029 for 2001-2004 (LB7) GM 6.6L Duramax V8 engines is a direct bolt-on replacement for any street or off-road application where higher levels of performance and durability are desired. This aluminum head comes complete and ready to run straight out of the box and are designed to fit all variations of the Duramax engine that was offered in the popular Silverado and Sierra pickup truck as well as Chevrolet and GMC 2500/3500 HD trucks between 2001 and 2016. Edelbrock's new Diesel Cylinder Head is compatible with all stock Duramax valvetrain components as well as valve covers, water crossover, injectors and plugs. Each A356 aluminum cylinder head casting is heat- and pressure-treated to reduce porosity while also increasing both strength and fatigue properties. 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. Order Edelbrock part number 79029 for 2001-2004 LB7 Duramax V8 engines. Features & Benefits: 50-state emissions legal. 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. Heat-treated to T7 hardness for the extreme diesel operating environment. Thick 15.5mm deck for increased cylinder pressures. Raised rocker valley adds water volume in head. All factory components bolt on without modification

Product Overview

Edelbrock s first cylinder head for the diesel engine market is a direct bolt-on replacement for all 2001-2016 6.6L Duramax Diesel V8 engines that provides a significant advantage in performance and durability for street and off-road applications. But why are Edelbrock s new heads better for your Duramax-powered Chevy/GMC truck? Unlike cylinder heads for a gasoline engine; a direct-injected diesel like GM s 6.6L Duramax relies on the motion of air coming into the cylinder to make power. This motion is referred to as swirl; and our engineers not only managed to develop a head that yields greater volumetric efficiency than the factory Duramax head; but we did so with a swirl ratio similar to that of the factory to ensure a complete and clean burn to meet the stringent diesel emissions requirements. The result is a 50-state emissions-legal cylinder head for the 6.6L Duramax that lets you turn up the turbo boost because it is no longer the restriction in the system. Our new Diesel Cylinder Head for the 6.6L Duramax is cast from heat-and pressure-treated A356 aluminum to reduce porosity while also increasing both strength and fatigue properties. Intake and exhaust runners are designed to optimize flow and swirl; but engine builders and head porters will appreciate the extra deck and port wall material for custom porting and deck strength. Edelbrock Diesel Heads are ready to run right out of the box; making them the perfect choice for a street performance upgrade. Our heads are designed; manufactured and assembled in the USA to fit all variations of the Duramax engine that were offered in Silverado and Sierra pickups manufactured between 2001 and 2016.
