Component upgrades and machining options are available to customize AFR Heads to your specific build.
AFR's Torque Monster!
The smallest intake volume runners in AFR's BBC rectangle port
line-up, but don't let size fool you. AFR's fully CNC ported 315cc
aluminum cylinder heads will provide you with flow numbers most
medium sized heads, and some larger, can only dream about. This
line was designed to optimize low and mid-lift airflow, while
still generating impressive peak figures. Their application should
be focused on smaller cubic inch Big Blocks (396-502), with a
primary operating range of 2500-6800 rpm’s (this range is an
average and will vary with engine displacement as well as
component selection). These heads should also be given strong
consideration in larger street driven or marine applications up to
555 CID, where low rpm power and drivability are a factor. The 315
version is extremely versatile with its incredibly strong low and
midlift airflow figures as well as peak numbers approaching the
400 CFM mark. These heads would be a great choice if your looking
for big torque, strong low rpm performance, and still have good
rpm capabilities. The 315cc come standard with AFR's trademark
.750" thick head deck and reinforced rocker stud bosses.. Standard
combustion chamber
volume is 121cc for our BBC 315cc. Properly selecting the correct
cylinder head for an application depends on a large number of
variables. Please consult with one of our sales technicians to
assist you in making the best decision for your particular
application.
Note:
Optional stud girdle required for 2° rolled valve angles and 1"
longer head bolts needed on four bottom exhaust bolt holes. Longer
pushrods might also be required.
