Aluminum Cylinder Head
Taken from the GM Performance catalog, this is comparing it with the gen 2 aluminum heads.
The Gen III cylinder heads are used in late model V6/60 engines for improved performance. They feature an increase of .040" in intake valve diameter and a reshaped port for a flow improvement of 16.7% at 0.450" of valve lift. The exhaust port has been reshaped into a "D" port configuration for a flow improvement of 31.7% at 0.450" of valve lift.
For now I am just putting the tables up. Very shortly I will have more information as to the changes. Very quickly 96-99 3400 heads have a larger intake valve (1.76 vs 1.72) compared to the gen 2 AL heads and the gen 3 3100 heads. 2000+ 3100 and 3400 heads are the same. (1.76" Intake Valve).
