air wolf are legendary heads from early-mid 2000s... massive flowing heads from Dr J.
Im using a set of heads from his protégé on my new engine, supposed to flow 300cfm by .500 lift, CNCing on them is beautimuss <3

air wolf heads are on on SBC's making over 700hp all motor in some racing circles, they are direct antagonist to the legendary ford Cleveland heads, I know of no other SBC heads besides full race heads that make the amount of power that they make. If they are Air Wolf heads... you've got something very special.

418 sbc with 265 air wolf heads making an insane 5.09 @ 139.49, 1.2s 60' on a 275 radial in a …. VETTE VERT

When you want the nth degree of performance you have to go outside the best and all the way to the extreme!

Believe this is what you have. Dont know if the date stamped was a rebuild date or not?
Better than stock-Those are World S/R torquers
170cc
1.94 intake and 1.5 exhaust

On Dr Js, who did the airwolf heads hear they closed up shop?
Lots of talent in that place.
