The Ultimate Street Weapon!
For the ultimate in "Oval Port" performance with solid roller springs, the fully CNC ported AFR 290 has no competition. With flow figures most small to medium sized rectangular port castings would be envious of, these high flowing "Ovals" produce tremendous airspeed and really pack a punch. AFR has included it's trademark 3/4" deck, reinforced rocker stud bosses, and thick rugged castings, so you can own the strongest and most efficient heads on the market today. Premium hardware all come as standard equipment. Take note the higher flowing exhaust ports are raised .375 over stock location, and therefore these heads might not be a direct bolt-on in every application. These heads have no EGR and are not emissions legal.
Note:
1" longer head bolts needed on four bottom exhaust bolt holes. Angle mills might require a .120" Thick intake gasket.

Important:
Do not port match you intake manifold to any Fel-Pro gasket as it does not precisely match AFR heads.
Do not use your AFR gasket as a template to port match your intake manifold as one AFR gasket is used for many AFR runner volumes.
Note:
1" longer head bolts needed on four bottom exhaust bolt holes.
Milling head deck will affect flow numbers. Angle mills might require a .120 thick intake gasket.
