Overview

The Ford Performance M-6049-L30 is a set of GT40 iron cylinder heads from the Ford SVO catalogue. These heads offer a moderate horsepower gain, estimated at 20-40 HP, over stock E7 heads. They are known for being a factory fit with no installation issues and are a cost-effective option for moderate performance upgrades.
Show original supplier description
The Ford M-6049-L30 cylinder heads are a performance upgrade from the Ford SVO catalogue, designed to replace restrictive factory heads like the E7TE. Constructed from aluminum, these heads boast a 72 cc combustion chamber volume, 200 cc intake ports, and 80 cc exhaust ports, contributing to a 9.5:1 compression ratio when installed on a stock 5.0L engine. This setup aims to significantly improve horsepower and engine responsiveness compared to stock components. These cylinder heads are compatible with 1979-1993 Mustang GT, Cobra, LX, and SVO models, as well as 5.0L F150 trucks. However, it is crucial to note that they "will not fit 1986 5.0L with flat-" pistons and should not be installed on 289/302 production blocks without proper modification or consideration for BOSS blocks. Additionally, when upgrading to performance cylinder heads, it is imperative to replace the stock valve springs, as they may not adequately support even a stock HO cam, and to select a spring package compatible with your chosen camshaft and rocker arm combination. When installing these heads, be mindful of potential piston-to-valve clearance issues, especially if the engine block deck has been milled or if larger camshafts are used. Proper attention to these details will ensure optimal performance and longevity of the engine.
