Description:

AFR Mongoose LS3 heads heads bring a lot to the party with their 12 degree, 6-bolt design. We buy these heads as porter castings and machine them to perfection on our CNCs.  The shapes we impart to the ports and combustion chambers reflect our years of experience on our own engine builds. 

We know what makes power and also survives the beating of competition.  It's not chasing peak air flow at max lift by excessively cutting away the metal around the valve guides. Peak air flow occurs at only one instant in the cycle. Our focus is more on average air flow across the entire cycle. For spring packages with 0.650 inch max-lift, quoting a peak airflow at 0.800 inches is irrelevant.

Of paramount importance for us is that our heads don't break and wreck our engines.  We therefore do not chase flow at the expense of weakening the heads mechanical integrity. That's a concern that non-engine builders don't share. 

Our process for machining these heads includes CNC porting and combustion chamber machining on our 5-axis with CNC valve job and bowl bowl blend on our Newen CNC seat & guide machine (see videos down below). The 6-bolt configuaration is standard but we can remove the 6-bolt provision upon request.

The results we get are as shown in the Tables immediately below.

We offer a variety of valve & spring packages for these heads to accomodate both naturally aspirated, boosted applications for use with both hydraulic and mechanical cams. The standard package offers a choice of stainless steel or Inconel exhaust valves. Custom combinations are also available. 

Standard Valve & Spring Packages

AFR solid stem valves with high RPM dual springs, titanium retainers,  0.650 inch max lift.

And yes, we eat our own cooking.  This package is what we are now using on our 720hp, 408ci LS  as can be seen in the video below.
