Details

Chevrolet’s ROX cylinder head is essentially an SB2-style head stretched to fit a small block with 4.500-inch bore spacing. This style head is popular among drag racers, but now MBE has taken it to a new level with its reworked ROX 4.500.


MBE’s design isn’t simply an ROX head with enlarged ports. Instead, it has extensively reworked the entire head, including relocating the guide bores to create ports that maximize flow while also increasing port velocity. The completed work dramatically increases the flow through these heads. Intake flow is up to an astounding 460 cfm while the exhausts flow 292. And remember, MBE is the only induction specialist in the industry willing to guarantee its flow numbers.


The MBE ROX 4.500 is a great option for NHRA Comp Eliminator and other serious drag racers. The heads come equipped...

is the leading induction specialists in the country, with cylinder heads and intake manifolds used in championship winning programs from NASCAR Nextel Cup, to NHRA Pro Stock, to Sprint Cars to Dirt Late Models and more. MBE is the only CNC porting company to guarantee cfm flow numbers for every cylinder head it produces—and those numbers are often the highest you will see anywhere. MBE maintains an aggressive R&D program and constantly updates its cylinder head and intake profiles to stay ahead of the competition.
