Overview:

The AFR 185cc Black Hawk Gen 3 Hemi Cylinder Heads are precision-engineered performance components designed to enhance airflow and combustion efficiency for a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines. Compatible with 5.7L, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk models, these cylinder heads offer a robust upgrade path for enthusiasts seeking improved power and reliability.

Built to deliver consistent performance gains, the Black Hawk Gen 3 heads are ideal for street performance builds, mild to moderate race applications, and engine rebuilds where quality and durability are paramount. Their design focuses on optimizing intake and exhaust flow while maintaining the classic Hemi combustion chamber shape.

Key Features:

These cylinder heads incorporate several advanced features that contribute to their performance and reliability:

• 185cc intake runner volume for enhanced airflow and throttle response
• 69cc combustion chamber volume with traditional Hemi hemispherical design
• Cast aluminum construction for lightweight strength and efficient heat dissipation
• Square intake port shape and D-port exhaust design for optimal flow dynamics
• Intake valve diameter of 2.050 inches and exhaust valve diameter of 1.590 inches for improved breathing
• Valve guides made from durable bronze and ductile iron valve seats for long-lasting valve sealing
• Valve stem seals included to reduce oil consumption and improve valve longevity
• Perimeter bolt valve cover mounting style with accessory bolt holes drilled for easy installation
• Designed for use with 5/16 inch pushrods and 10-degree valve locks for secure valve retention

Construction & Design:

The AFR Black Hawk Gen 3 heads are crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, providing an excellent balance of strength and weight savings. The natural finish highlights the precision casting process, while the bronze valve guides and ductile iron valve seats ensure durability under demanding operating conditions.

The combustion chambers maintain the classic Hemi hemispherical shape, promoting efficient fuel-air mixture burn and reducing detonation risk. Although these heads are sold bare without CNC porting, their well-engineered port volumes and shapes offer a solid foundation for further customization or bolt-on performance upgrades.

Installation & Fitment:

These cylinder heads are designed to fit most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with 5.7L Hemi, 6.1L SRT8, 6.4L 392, and 6.2L Hellcat & Trackhawk engines. Installation requires standard procedures for cylinder head replacement, with no special machining or modifications necessary for proper fitment.

Note that these heads are sold individually and intended for the passenger side. Additional components such as valves, springs, rocker arms, and retainers are not included and must be sourced separately to complete the assembly.

What's Included:

• One bare AFR Black Hawk Gen 3 Hemi cylinder head (passenger side)
• Valve stem seals
• Valve guides
• Valve seats machined and ready for valve installation

Ideal For:

This cylinder head is perfect for enthusiasts and builders looking to upgrade their Hemi engines for improved airflow and combustion efficiency without extensive porting or CNC machining. It suits street performance builds, mild racing applications, and engine rebuilds where durability and reliable power gains are desired.

Ideal users include:

• Performance street car owners upgrading 5.7L to 6.4L Hemi engines
• Track and drag racers seeking a solid foundation for further head work
• Engine builders requiring high-quality replacement heads for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi platforms
