• 69cc Hemi-style combustion chambers CNC-machined for precision and consistency
• Square intake port shape and D-port exhaust design for efficient gas flow
• Intake valves measuring 2.165 inches and exhaust valves at 1.650 inches for enhanced breathing
• Dual valve springs with titanium retainers and 10-degree locks for high RPM stability
• Cast aluminum construction for lightweight strength and superior heat dissipation
• Comprehensive CNC machining on combustion chambers, intake, and exhaust runners
• Includes intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, retainers, locks, and valve stem seals
• Standard valve angles of 18° intake and 16.5° exhaust for optimal flow dynamics
• Perimeter bolt valve cover mounting with accessory bolt holes drilled for ease of installation

Construction & Design:

Manufactured from high-grade cast aluminum, the AFR Black Hawk Gen 3 heads combine lightweight durability with excellent thermal management. The heads feature bronze valve guides and ductile iron valve seats, ensuring long-lasting valve sealing and wear resistance. Precision CNC machining of the combustion chambers and ports guarantees consistent airflow and combustion efficiency across all cylinders.

The Hemi combustion chamber design promotes efficient flame propagation and power output, while the robust valve train components, including dual springs and titanium retainers, support aggressive camshaft profiles and high valve lifts up to 0.600 inches. The heads are assembled with quality hardware and valve stem seals to maintain reliability under demanding conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

These cylinder heads are designed as direct replacements for most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Hemi engines in the 5.7L to 6.4L range, including performance variants like the 6.1L SRT8 and 6.2L Hellcat. Installation requires standard procedures for cylinder head swaps and is compatible with factory valve covers and pushrods (5/16 inch diameter).

No modifications to the block or valvetrain are typically necessary, making these heads a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts looking to enhance their engine’s breathing and power potential. Always verify fitment against your specific vehicle model and year before purchase.
