Trick Flow® GenX® 280 HD Cylinder Heads for GM LS3

Trick Flow® GenX® 280 HD cylinder heads offer an unbeatable combination of performance and durability, making them the perfect upgrade for your high-performance GM LS3 engine build. Assembled with Manley Severe Duty stainless steel valves, these heavy-duty versions of the standard GenX® 280 heads can withstand the added heat, stress, and abuse dealt by big power adders. That makes them the ideal choice for engines using superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous. GenX 280 HD cylinder heads have fully CNC-profiled combustion chambers and CNC Competition Ported square port runners with a premium high resolution surface finish that guarantees dimensional accuracy and balanced flow from port-to-port for maximum power potential. The valve angles have been modified from the stock 15° to 12° to increase piston-to-valve clearance and allow the use of larger camshafts. The coolant holes through the head decks were designed to ensure compatibility with all LS head gasket and engine block combinations. The 6-bolt-per-cylinder mounting pattern for GMPP LSX and other aftermarket blocks increases clamping force to prevent head gasket failure, cylinder distortion, and other issues that plague the factory 4-bolt design. Trick Flow® GenX® 280 HD heads have LS3 port locations to work with all LS3-style intake manifolds and LS9/LSA blower assemblies. They must be used on engines with 4.000" or larger bores. Cylinder heads are available fully assembled or as bare castings. Sold individually.

Trick Flow® Twisted Wedge® Track Heat® 185 Cylinder Heads for Ford 4.6L/5.4L 2V

Trick Flow® Twisted Wedge® Track Heat® 185 series cylinder heads are the best aftermarket heads for Ford 2V Modular engines with power adders and/or high rpm applications. The heads feature CNC-profiled Twisted Wedge combustion chambers and intake valves moved to the opposite side of the cam. These features provide dramatic increases in mid-lift airflow, piston-to-valve clearance, and valve-to-bore clearance for using higher lift cams and larger valves without altering bore size or flycutting pistons. Other exclusive features include Fast As Cast® runners that deliver near-CNC-ported airflow, OE PI-style intake inlets, patented replaceable cam bearing journals (no more junking heads because of trashed cams!), 3/4" thick decks, and 3/4"-reach spark plugs. Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Track Heat 185 heads fit all 2V Romeo and Windsor engines and accept all OE-style camshafts, followers, lash adjusters, valve covers, and most OE Ford front covers. The heads are available fully assembled or as bare castings. Sold individually.

Pacific Performance Engineering CNC-Ported LLY/LBZ/LMM Cast Iron Cylinder Heads

PPE's CNC-ported LLY/LBZ/LMM cast iron cylinder heads are the ultimate upgrade to your Duramax engine to eliminate any head gasket or cracking concerns. Cast from high-quality alloyed gray iron, the PPE cylinder heads offer elevated fatigue strength, heat, and creep resistance, which prolongs the cylinder head's lifespan significantly. The cylinder heads also share the same heat expansion rate as the stock cast-iron cylinder block—no more blown head gaskets! PPE's CNC-porting process improves airflow, enhancing power, fuel efficiency, and throttle response while reducing engine stress and turbo lag. By smoothing the ports and maintaining wall thickness, these heads provide increased horsepower and torque without sacrificing reliability. Tailored to each specific head, the CNC machining compensates for casting variations, ensuring consistent and optimized airflow dynamics. Whether you have a damaged aluminum cylinder head or a desire for better reliability and longevity on your Duramax engine, cast iron cylinder heads from Pacific Performance Engineering are undoubtedly the best choice. Product features: * Specially alloyed gray cast iron liquid-cooled cylinder head * 5-Axis CNC-ported intake and exhaust ports for smooth, unrestricted airflow * Increased thermal efficiency compared to aluminum heads * Reduced noise and vibration, better ride * Eliminates head gasket scrubbing issue (blown head gasket) * Higher fatigue strength and heat resistance * Premium 21-4N, Stellite-reinforced exhaust valves * Fully nitridated valves, better abrasion resistance * Ready to install—comes with all valvetrain components, rocker arm dowels, and freeze plugs * Requires the use of LBZ/LMM glow plugs on LLY engines (sold separately) Important Notes: The valve seats of the PPE heavy cast iron cylinder heads are installed with an interference that maximizes the durability and lifespan of the cylinder heads. Such interference might not be optimal for extreme-performance applications where a significant amount of heat is created. For those applications, PPE suggests that the exhaust valve seats be replaced with higher interference (+0.006 in. to +0.008 in.) oversized exhaust valve seats (Nominal size 34mm).
