AFR 23° SBC Cylinder Head 235cc Competition Package Heads, Spread Port Exhaust, 80cc Chambers
The AFR 235cc SBC Race Cylinder Head is engineered for serious racing applications, delivering maximum performance with 100% CNC-machined intake runners, exhaust ports, and combustion chambers. Designed with a 60/40 valve spacing for optimal valve train geometry, these heads require shaft-mounted rocker arms but can accommodate .050 offset intake rockers for drag racing applications. Built with high-quality components, including titanium retainers and PAC Racing springs, these heads offer superior airflow and durability.
