SBC SHP Cylinder Head 200cc/64cc SP - Assem.

The DART SBC SHP Cylinder Head 200cc/64cc SP Assembled is a high-performance small-block Chevy cylinder head engineered for serious engine builders and performance enthusiasts. This aluminum assembly delivers the airflow characteristics and combustion chamber efficiency required for street, strip, and competition applications. Built on DART's proven SHP platform, this cylinder head combines precision casting with meticulous assembly to eliminate variables during installation.

The 200cc intake and 64cc chamber configuration is optimized for mid-range and high-RPM power delivery in small-block Chevy platforms. The 2.020-inch intake and 1.600-inch exhaust valve sizes support superior breathing efficiency, while the 1.437-inch valve springs provide stable control across extended RPM ranges. Straight-plug design ensures compatibility with standard ignition systems and simplifies installation. The assembled configuration means critical valve train components arrive pre-installed and inspected, reducing build time and potential assembly errors. At 30.95 pounds, this head is compatible with standard mounting hardware and intake manifold configurations.

This cylinder head suits builders developing small-block Chevy engines for restorations, hot rods, marine applications, and performance vehicles where reliable horsepower and consistent valve control matter. The 200cc intake volume balances flow capacity with port velocity, supporting natural aspiration and moderate boost scenarios. Serious users appreciate the pre-assembled valve train—it eliminates guesswork on spring pressures and valve train geometry, critical factors in engine longevity and consistent performance across thousands of miles.

DART cylinder heads are recognized for dimensional consistency and quality control in the performance engine market. The SHP line specifically targets builders who require proven airflow characteristics without boutique pricing. This assembled head is a direct bolt-on replacement or upgrade component for small-block Chevy platforms, simplifying the path from core engine to completed assembly.
