AFR 185 cc Aluminum Cylinder Heads for Small Block Ford

If you need the world’s finest street/strip small block Ford head, check out AFR’s all new 185cc intake port emissions legal (CARB EO #250-3) cylinder heads. With 2.020 intake valves, 1.600” exhaust valves, combustion chamber volumes of 58cc or 61cc, and 69cc exhaust ports, AFR’s new 185cc Ford head is designed for 302-351 cid engines operating from 1500 rpm to 6500 rpm. A 3/4” thick head deck makes the AFR head ideal for nitrous or blower applications. Will not accept rail rocker arms. Hardened pushrods required with heads #1420 and #1422. High flow 2.020 valves might require aftermarket pistons notched for valve clearance. Note: 1986 5.0L must have pistons notched for clearance.


The Non-Emission Legal heads come ready for the maximum street/strip Small Block Ford performance possible. They are not emissions legal. With the 165 coming with 1.900 intake and 1.600 exhaust valves and the 185 sporting 2.020 intake and 1.600 exhaust valves. Both heads feature 58cc or 61cc combustion chamber with 69cc exhaust ports. Both the 165cc and 185cc have available as an option nitrous or blower exhaust ports featuring either a 75cc ultra high flowing exhaust port. With AFR’s trademark 3/4” thick head deck, it’s no problem handling that additional cylinder pressure. Each head is also drilled for the larger 1/2” head bolt hole for maximum head gasket retention as a standard feature of this serious race piece in street disguise.


Note:
Hydraulic roller cams typically experience valve float at 5800-6000 rpm because of their fast ramp rates. AFR suggests you upgrade your springs to AFR part #8032, 1.530 O.D. with higher spring pressures to reduce chances of valve float associated with rpm’s 6000 or higher.
