It should come as no surprise that some of the best small block Ford cylinder heads on the market today come from Ford Performance Parts. Leveraging the automaker’s extensive heritage in street and competition performance, Ford Performance Parts offers a range of cylinder heads to address a range of needs. Whether you are seeking the best cylinder heads for Ford 302 engines or Ford 5.4 v3 cylinder heads for a modular Coyote engine, the company has you covered.
Ford Performance Parts cylinder heads are made from aluminum, a material that offers benefits like lightweight construction, superior heat dissipation, and the ability to handle moderate to high compression ratios. These characteristics make them an excellent choice for builds ranging from street use to drag racing and other types of competition.
Ford Performance Parts Super Cobra Jet Cylinder Heads—Ford Performance Parts teamed up with Jon Kaase to redesign the 429 Cobra Jet cylinder heads.

It offers a large exhaust valve diameter of 1.76 inches and an intake valve diameter of 2.2 inches.
Ford Performance Parts Z2 Velocity Vane Cylinder Heads—Z2 Velocity Vane cylinder heads are designed to improve power throughout the rpm range, making them an ideal choice for the street and strip. The heads, which are direct bolt-ons for Ford 289/302/351W engines, feature a unique Velocity Vane intake port design and are cast from prime 356 T6 aluminum. Other features include a 63cc combustion chamber, 2.05-inch intake, and 1.6-inch exhaust valves.
Ford Performance Parts X2 Street Cruiser Cylinder Heads—Ford Performance Parts X2 Street Cruiser aluminum assembled cylinder heads for 289/302/351W Boss blocks are a great way to add horsepower to your street machine.

Ford Performance Parts Gen 2 Coyote Cylinder Heads—Designed for the Mustang GT350, these Ford Performance Parts Gen 2 Coyote cylinder heads are engineered to provide excellent intake and exhaust airflow. Each features a combustion chamber volume of 57cc, 1.469-inch intake, and 1.252-inch exhaust valves. The heads are available in assembled and semi-finished configurations.
Ford Performance Parts Gen 3 Coyote Cylinder Heads—Ford Performance Parts’ Gen 3 Coyote cylinder heads improve on the previous iteration with slightly larger intake (1.484 inches in diameter) and exhaust (1.260 inches) valves. The heads come fully machined and ready to install.
Ford Performance Parts Z-Head Aluminum Assembled Cylinder Heads—Designed for Ford small block Windsor engines, Z-Series aluminum cylinder heads are built from prime A356 T-6 aluminum and include features such as high-flow ports, steel alloy intake and exhaust valve seats, and manganese-bronze valve guides. Select heads are also offered with advanced "Velocity Vane" intake port design that delivers outstanding street/strip power.
Ford Performance Parts Boss 302R Bare Cylinder Heads—Featured on the Boss 302 and 302R race cars, these cylinder heads are engineered for race-ready performance. The heads offer fully CNC-ported ports and chambers, 193cc intake port volume, and 55.6cc combustion chamber volume, making them an ideal choice for your street-and-strip machine.
Ford Performance Parts FR9 NASCAR Cylinder Heads—Aimed at serious circle track competitors, these FR9 NASCAR cylinder heads are built with lightweight castings made from A356-T6 aluminum. Manufactured to exceed the most demanding performance requirements, each cylinder head features crossflow cooling, internal oil passages for valvetrain lubrication, and splayed and canted intake valves. Please note that they are designed to be used with FR9 blocks and intakes only.
It is important to remember that your cylinder heads are one part of a complete engine package rather than a standalone upgrade. When choosing cylinder heads, be sure to match them to your cam profile, desired compression ratio, engine displacement, gear size, and other performance modifications. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
You also need to consider your intended use. Will you spend most of your time driving this vehicle on the street? On the strip? A bit of both? Your needs will change depending on the answer:
Street Performance—Consider keeping your intake ports on the smaller side to maintain high velocity in the ports. High-end power might suffer, but you will achieve good throttle response in its place. Look for heads that excel in the 1,500 – 5,500 rpm range where street vehicles usually operate.
Competition—At the opposite end of the spectrum, racing cylinder heads typically have beefier valve springs and are designed to perform well at rpm levels of 10,000 and above. The big ports, big valves, and smaller combustion chambers found in these heads are advantageous when used in competition engines, which operate at higher powerbands. Just don’t expect the same throttle response you’d get from street heads.
Street & Strip—Cylinder heads designed to perform well during your drive to work or a weekend at the strip need to balance
