Edelbrock #1115 Flathead Ford Cylinder Heads – Set of 2 – 65cc – Satin Aluminum

For 1938–53 Ford & Mercury Flathead V8 • Performance Upgrade • Made in USA

🔧 Product Overview

Bring classic performance and style to your Flathead build with the Edelbrock #1115 Cylinder Heads, designed for 1938–1953 Ford and Mercury Flathead V8s. These heads feature the original Edelbrock script logo and are cast in the USA at the Edelbrock Foundry using high-quality T-6 tempered A356 aluminum.

The #1115 heads are internally and externally ribbed for added strength and heat dissipation. They offer a 65cc combustion chamber, allowing an 8.0:1 compression ratio on engines with stock bore and stroke (3/16" base relief). Compression increases approximately 0.3:1 for every 1/8" of stroke increase, making them ideal for mildly to moderately built Flathead motors.
