Fully Assembled or Bare Heads

Fully CNC ported intake, exhaust & combustion chambers

AFR’s MONGOOSE LS3 Rectangle Port cylinder heads are 100% 5-AXIS CNC ported and made with A356 aluminum. All heads come with high quality components, such as titanium retainers and Pac Racing Springs. These are equipped with AFR's standard 3/4" thick deck, with thicker port and combustion surfaces. Reinforced rocker stud bosses, and thick wall runners are structural features for added strength and reliability. AFR stud girdles along with full roller arms are required. The assembled heads utilize titanium retainers, dual valve springs and premium grade components throughout. Available in a 260cc runner volume. Minimum bore sizing is 4.000” to accommodate intake valve clearance. Recommended operating up to 7000 RPM for street/strip builds.

Notes

  • GM rocker arms are not designed/engineered to accommodate aftermarket cams or higher spring pressures. At a minimum, AFR recommends using Bushing Trunion Kit on their LS1/LS3 heads. Without proper parts you will experience accelerated guide wear.
  • AFR recommends a minimum depth of .080" on the intake valve and .100" on the exhaust with radical clearance of .020" minimum around the perimeter of each valve. The valve pocket must also be addressed.
  • AFR valve spring installed high spec is +/- .015". To ease installation with 1.550" O.D or larger springs, 12 pt. head bolt or studs are recommended for extra clearance. Beveled or ground washer might be needed.
  • AFR heads come with proper guide clearance (.0012"-.0016" for most applications, boosted/nitrous applications might require additional clearance and it is the customer's responsibility to verify proper clearance in these applications).
  • Check pushrod clearance with heads place on the block before final assembly, 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.
  • If you're using a high volume or high pressure oil pump it can submerge the valve seals in oil causing smoke or oil consumption.
  • Flat or angle mills could affect flow numbers and might require a thicker intake gasket.
  • Shaft mount rockers might require additional clearance for proper pushrod fitment, do not clearance the push rod area as the wall is .060" thick.
  • Use full roller rocker arms, roller tip rockers with stock style bodies are NOT recommended.
