"Blue Oval" big block performance is alive and well at Air Flow Research with a much needed clean sheet redesign of the aging BBF cylinder head. Starting with the needlessly large OEM port our design team decreased overall runner size while giving it a more consistent cross sectional area. This change is designed to increase peak power while notably boosting the torque, responsiveness and fuel efficiency. We then carefully shaped the combustion chamber and positioned the valves to compliment intake and exhaust port design while efficiently utilizing the cylinder bore. The improvement in valve positioning allows us to address the "Achilles Heel" of the BBF head, the exhaust port. By filling the floor of the exhaust port without raising the height we have improved high flow lift while increasing flow at low and mid lifts, achieving a 75% intake to exhaust flow ratio with our exhaust port in the stock location reaching 275 cfm. The high flow stock exhaust location allows for stock header and chassis fitment, but for customers with more room AFR offers their BBF cylinder head with the exhaust port raised .250".

AFR's 270cc heads feature partially CNC ported intake, exhaust & chambers, A356 aluminium castings and high quality components throughout with standard exhaust port locations. Recommended for street, towing, or street/strip engines with displacements up to 477 cubic inches, operating up to 6200 RPM.

Please Note: that due to AFR's valve angle and location, custom pistons or notching your existing pistons will be required.
