Dart PRO 1 CNC heads are professional quality competition cylinder heads. Every intake port, exhaust runner, valve bowl, and combustion chamber is 100% CNC machined on special dedicated DART PRO 1 castings. CNC machined 227cc intake ports give you optimized flow characteristics out of the box. DART 5-axis machining centers precisely duplicate the port profiles so that every head delivers awesome performance. CNC machined combustion chambers ensure that every chamber has the same volume so that every cylinder has equal compression.The valve seats are machined, not ground, to produce precise angles and radiuses for maximum airflow.

DART PRO 1 aluminum cylinder heads for small-block V8’s deliver advanced airflow technology at an unbeatable price! There’s a DART PRO 1 head for virtually every small-block engine. DART offers a choice of four intake runner sizes (180cc, 200cc, 215cc, and 230cc), two chamber volumes (64cc and 72cc), five valve diameters, and straight or angled spark plugs. DART has improved the original small-block design with extra-thick decks and high-capacity water jackets that increase reliability in high-performance applications. Hardened exhaust seats and long-lasting mag-bronze valve guides significantly extend cylinder head life. DART PRO 1 heads are engineered for easy installation. They use standard small-block pistons, headers, and valvetrain components, and are bolt-on replacements for most conventional 23° heads.
