Description
AFR small port, high velocity 265cc cylinder heads are a cost effective choice compared to re-worked factory Big Block Chevrolet cylinder heads. The intake runners and exhaust ports are partially CNC machined, while the combustion chambers are offered with partial or full CNC machining with a bowl blend; this torque monster is capable of flowing 354 CFM at 0.650" lift.
Recommended for street, street/strip and towing applications with displacements up to 468 cubic inches operating at or below 6200 RPM.

** With some domed aftermarket pistons, it may be necessary to slightly clearance or modify the piston due to there more efficient heart shaped combustion chamber design. Most of the newer designed dome profiles will clear. AFR strongly recommends material be removed from the piston and not the cylinder head. Our combustion chamber shapes are very critical to flow and altering the cylinder head can adversely affect flow and power production. It is the customers responsibility to verify proper piston to head clearance.
*** Heads are designed for 3/8" pushrods. Larger pushrods will not fit without clearancing and is not recommended since some areas are very thin.
AFR recommends the use of .120" thick-wall pushrods.
AFR heads are available bare (without parts), call our tech line (714) 523-0530 for details.
