AFR does not offer an LS3 head.

We can CNC yours,new LS3 GM castings or our own LS3 castings - ~370 +cfm intake / 260 + cfm exhaust - any combustion chamber size from 60-75 cc - we fully do the complete head in our own facility -and that includes flow design & flow testing , CNC machining & all finish work.

Using your heads the complete cost = $1,485.

CNC - complete
Serdi, Multi-Angle Valve Job
Milled & cc'd
Stainless Steel Valves
Springs, ti retainers, locks,spring bases, seals

HP depends on the supporting cast of mods but we have seen 490 - 530 RWHP.
