Edelbrock Cylinder Head 11-16 Chevy LML Duramax Diesel V8 6.6L Single Complete - 79119

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.

About Edelbrock

Edelbrock was founded in 1938 by Vic Edelbrock Sr. in Los Angeles, California. Initially, the company focused on producing performance parts, with Vic's first major success being a high-performance intake manifold designed for flathead V8 engines. This innovation helped enhance engine efficiency and performance, laying the foundation for the company's reputation in the automotive aftermarket. Vic's love for racing also played a significant role in the early development of Edelbrock, as he designed parts to improve the speed and power of his own cars.

By the 1950s and 1960s, Edelbrock began to expand its product offerings, moving beyond intake manifolds to include carburetors, camshafts, and other components essential for performance cars. The company gained recognition in the burgeoning hot rod and drag racing scenes, particularly in California, where racing culture was rapidly growing. Edelbrock's products were highly regarded for their quality and performance, earning the company a loyal following among car enthusiasts and racers.

During the 1970s, the company solidified its position as a leader in the performance parts industry. With Vic Edelbrock Jr. joining the business, Edelbrock expanded its reach beyond racing into the street performance market, offering a variety of parts for muscle cars and street machines. The Edelbrock carburetor became a go-to choice for enthusiasts looking to boost engine performance, and the company continued to innovate, expanding its product line to meet the growing demands of car enthusiasts.

The 1980s and 1990s marked a period of continued growth for Edelbrock as the company advanced with cutting-edge technologies, such as the introduction of electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems and aluminum cylinder heads. Edelbrock was a key player in motorsports, supporting events in NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, and circle track racing. The company's emphasis on technological innovation helped it remain at the forefront of the performance parts industry.

In the 2000s, Edelbrock adapted to modern advancements in manufacturing, utilizing CNC-machining and computer modeling for greater precision in its products. The company also expanded its portfolio, delving into areas like superchargers, performance exhaust systems, and automotive electronics. As the market shifted, Edelbrock continued to develop high-performance parts to meet the needs of both racers and car enthusiasts.

In 2020, Edelbrock was acquired by Icahn Enterprises, a holding company controlled by investor Carl Icahn. Despite this change in ownership, Edelbrock has maintained its legacy as a trusted brand in automotive performance. The company continues to innovate with new products and technologies, ensuring that it remains a leader in the automotive aftermarket space.

Today, Edelbrock is a globally recognized name in the automotive performance industry. The company’s long history of innovation, dedication to quality, and commitment to performance has earned it a loyal customer base that includes racing professionals, car builders, and hobbyists alike. From its humble beginnings to its current standing as a giant in the performance parts world, Edelbrock’s legacy of excellence continues to shape the automotive landscape.
