Blue Thunder Racing Cylinder Heads For Small Block Ford

AlI Blue Thunder cylinder heads are cast at aircraft foundries using
Alcoa A356 aluminum, with a certified T-6 heat treat. A stainless steel
shot blast finish, and high quality machined surfaces provide an
attractive finished product.

Blue Thunder cylinder heads are pressure checked to 60psi. A .300”
port wall around ports for serious porting as desired. A .650” thick
deck surface provides for structural integrity and future fly-cutting.
Uses 14mm 3/4” reach 5/8 hex peanut style spark plug.

Features include Time Serts, (a threaded solid steel bushing (not a
spiral wire) to keep bolts from stripping out of the aluminum.), and steel
head bolt seats to prevent the head of the bolt from distorting into the
aluminum while fastening, along with 10 hardened flat washers.

These heads also come with partially drilled alcohol down nozzle
bosses cast into the cylinder head.

The 3.60 and 4.30 Blue Thunder cylinder heads have rocker stands
set-ups available from rocker arm manufacturers such as T&D.

CNC ported versions of both heads are available - - please inquire

Usable with bowl and port clean up. Does not require CNC Porting.

This head is designed to be ported to a height of 3.60” from the head
gasket surface to the roof of the intake port. Uses standard Yates
intake port location and layout.

These heads come with interlocking ductile iron intake and exhaust
seats. Manganese-silicon-aluminum bronze guide are undersized for
diamond honing.

All guides and seats are thermally pressed using liquid nitrogen to
preclude metal displacement during installation of guides and seats.

Chambers offered are 50cc or 70cc as machined. Uses 2.180”- 2.200”
diameter intake valves and 1.625” diameter exhaust valves.

Fully ported low potential over 400 cfm.

Blue Thunder 4.30 professional race aluminum cylinder head

This head is designed for CNC Porting. (unless you are retired you

These heads feature eight additional head bolt/studs bosses (four on
the intake between the pushrod holes, and four on the exhaust side of
the head. Available with either straight and canted valve exhaust.
