AFR 260cc LS3 Mongoose Cylinder Heads - Assembled

Built for serious power, AFR’s 260cc LS3 "Mongoose" heads are the go-to choice for high-performance builds up to 454 cubic inches, capable of revving up to 7000 RPM. With 100% CNC ported intake, exhaust, and chambers, these heads are engineered from A356 aluminum and packed with premium components. Designed for 4.000" or larger bores, they’re a perfect match for aggressive street or track applications. What’s more, they’re 50-state street-legal on GM 6.2L LS engines from 2007 to 2016.
