• 212cc intake runner volume with square port shape for improved airflow
• 75cc exhaust runner volume with D-port shape for effective exhaust scavenging
• CNC-machined combustion chambers, intake, and exhaust runners for consistent quality and performance
• Intake valve diameter of 2.125 inches and exhaust valve diameter of 1.650 inches for enhanced breathing
• Hydraulic roller camshaft compatibility with maximum valve lift of 0.600 inches
• Bronze valve guides and ductile iron valve seats for durability and heat resistance
• Valve stem seals included to maintain oil control and reduce emissions
• Perimeter bolt valve cover mounting style with accessory bolt holes drilled for easy installation
• Standard intake and exhaust port locations for direct fitment on passenger side cylinder head

Construction & Design:

The Black Hawk Gen 3 cylinder head is crafted from high-quality cast aluminum, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior heat dissipation compared to traditional iron heads. The use of CNC machining ensures precise port shapes and combustion chamber volumes, which are critical for maximizing airflow and combustion efficiency.

Bronze valve guides and ductile iron valve seats are incorporated to withstand the rigors of high-performance operation, offering long-lasting durability and consistent valve sealing. The head’s design maintains the classic Hemi combustion chamber style with an 18-degree intake valve angle and 16.5-degree exhaust valve angle, optimized for the Gen 3 Hemi engine architecture.

Installation & Fitment:

This cylinder head is designed as a direct fit for 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 and is compatible with hydraulic roller camshafts. No modifications to intake or exhaust manifolds are typically necessary due to standard port locations and shapes.

Note that this product is sold as a bare cylinder head and does not include valves, springs, retainers, or rocker arms, so additional components will be required to complete the assembly.

What's Included:

• One bare cast aluminum cylinder head (passenger side)
• Bronze valve guides installed
• Ductile iron valve seats machined
• Valve stem seals included
