THE FAST, EASY WAY TO BOLT-ON 40 HORSEPOWER! TRUE BOLT-ON PERFORMANCE
- For use on 289/302/351 Windsor-style engines
- Improved air flow over original GT-40 cast iron and production heads
- Machined for 1.94" intake and 1.54" exhaust valve diameters
- Unlike some aftermarket heads our GT-40 heads use either stock or performance: intake manifolds, headers, and valve covers
- Intake port volume 160cc, exhaust port volume 53cc
- High temperature exhaust valve seats. Thick deck for improved sealing, increased section thickness in critical areas for porting, and webbed rocker bosses for improved strength. Designed for bolt-on rocker arms, machined for tapered seat spark plug or gasketed. Compatible with Ford Racing intakes, headers, and valve train components. Can be machined for diagonal exhaust header flange mounting
- High quality original equipment style 356-T6 aluminum castings, machining and components
- Each aluminum head weighs approximately 22 lbs. – approximately 25 lbs. lighter than each cast iron GT-40 head
- These GT-40 style heads use AGSF-32C spark plugs
- Each GT-40 head is leak tested prior to assembly
- Head assembly consists of bare head M-6049-Y302 and GT-40 valve train kit M-6090-X302 featuring stainless steel valves. The valve springs are compatible with all Ford Racing roller camshafts

INSTALLATION NOTES
- Will not fit 1986 5.0L with flat-top pistons unless pistons are notched for valve relief
- Must use head bolt kit M-6065-D289 to install cylinder heads on 289/302 blocks
- Check rocker arm clearance to valve springs with production rocker arms
- Check your intake manifold for port match, not all intakes are compatible due to the tall high-flow ports
- Must use M-9439-A50 intake gasket
