Ford Racing Z2 289/302/351W Aluminum Head w/ Velocity Vane

Starting with the A356 T6 aluminum casting, these Ford Racing Z2 cylinder heads are built for performance on a wide range of Ford V8 engines. The intake ports feature a Velocity Vane design, a specific choice aimed at improving airflow into the combustion chamber. This head retains the original Ford OEM intake and exhaust port locations, making it a more straightforward swap for your 289, 302, or 351 Windsor engine. The combustion chambers are a compact 63cc, which helps increase compression for more power, especially when paired with the right camshaft and pistons.

Inside, you'll find premium stainless steel valves, measuring 2.05 inches for intake and 1.60 inches for exhaust, paired with manganese-bronze valve guides for durability. The valve springs are well-built with a closed pressure of 145 lbs at 1.80 inches and 358 lbs at 1.175 inches, supporting up to 0.650 inches of valve lift. These heads are designed to fit a variety of Ford vehicles, including popular models like the Ford Mustang, Bronco, and E-Series vans from various years, offering a significant upgrade for your classic Ford V8 build.

This assembly is made in the USA and includes steel alloy intake and exhaust valve seats. While these heads offer a substantial performance improvement, remember they are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper setup and compatibility with your specific engine build.
