514 Super Cobra Jet Cylinder Head

The 514 Super Cobra Jet Cylinder Head by FORD is designed for serious muscle car builders and restoration enthusiasts looking for authentic big-block performance. This factory-sourced head is a true representation of Ford muscle car heritage, originally engineered for the iconic Cobra Jet engines that powered some of the most sought-after muscle cars of the 1960s and early 1970s. It serves as an ideal foundation for rebuilding classic 429 or 460 big-block engines or sourcing OEM components for high-performance restomods.

Constructed from durable cast iron, this cylinder head features factory port geometry that provides a reliable platform for both stock builds and enhanced fuel delivery systems. The Cobra Jet design optimizes combustion chamber shape and intake port angles, maximizing air velocity and mixture motion across the valve seat. This design supports efficient flame propagation and consistent power delivery, making it suitable for sustained high-RPM operation.

Mechanics and engine builders favor the 514 Super Cobra Jet heads for 429 and 460 cubic-inch big-block applications where authentic reproduction and reliable assembly are priorities. While the casting supports mild performance upgrades, such as modern ignition systems and carburetor tuning, these modifications are not included with the product. This cylinder head is an excellent choice for those aiming to maintain the integrity of vintage powerplants while enhancing performance.
