SVE Performance CNC Cylinder Heads - 185CCIncrease horsepower and torque in your 1993-1995 F-150 SVT Lightning 5.8 with SVE CNC 185cc aluminum cylinder heads. SVE aluminum cylinder heads are the perfect upgrade for your Lightning. Enlarged ports and valves provide more airflow for increased power, while the aluminum construction reduces weight compared to stock cast iron heads. The fully CNC 185cc intake ports allow for 289.16 CFM max airflow at 0.60" lift and a 58cc combustion chamber size. SVE's 185cc heads undergo a CNC machining process that cleans up any flaws the "as cast" heads may have, which further increases airflow and performance. SVE heads come fully assembled with 3/8" rockers studs, upgraded hydraulic roller dual valve springs, Viton valve seals, guide plates, machined bead valve locks, hardened spring cups, Manley steel retainers, and one-piece 8mm valves. Intake valves measure in at 2.02", and exhaust valves measure 1.60" big enough to flow all the air your Windsor engine would need. These stud mount heads are fully assembled and are finished off with a 3-angle valve job meaning that you will be able to bolt the cylinder heads to your short block for an effortless upgrade!
Why Buy SVE 185cc Cylinder Heads?
- Lightweight Aluminum - Constructed with A356 grade aluminum, SVE cylinder heads reduce engine weight significantly compared to factory cast iron cylinder heads, while providing better heat dissipation for improved performance.
- Upgraded Valve Springs - When upgrading the camshaft in your Lightning, your valve springs need attention. SVE cylinder heads have valve springs pre-installed that are rated up to .600" lift to handle the extra pressure.
- Fully Assembled - SVE cylinder heads arrive at your door fully assembled and ready to add your choice of rocker arms, valve covers, and other associated parts.
Do I Need Anything Else For Installation?
While these cylinder heads can be installed on most Lightnings without the need for additional aftermarket parts, there are a few upgrades you may want to consider while you are upgrading your Heads.
- Valve Gasket Kit - Finish off the install of your new SVE Cylinder Heads with a fresh set of SVE short valve covers and rubber bonded valve cover gaskets. Also included in this kit is a new set of valve cover bolts for a complete installation.
- Rocker Arms - Complete your SVE Cylinder Head install with a set of new Rocker Arms. Aftermarket Rocker Arms reduce friction and allow your entire valvetrain to operate smoother than it came from the factory. This increased smoothness allows for more power output and increased response.
- Lifters - Install a new set of hydraulic roller lifters with your new SVE Cylinder Heads. This upgraded design allows for a much quieter lifter sound when operating, and will slightly increase power due to the reduced friction compared to the factory lifters.
