The Ultimate Bolt-on Emissions Legal Street Weapon!
The AFR Emissions Legal (versions from 1969-94 with heat riser, CARB EO #D-250-2), 195cc intake port small block Chevy cylinder heads are available in your choice of straight or L98 angle plug versions. These cylinder heads feature a 65cc or 75cc combustion chamber with a 64cc exhaust port and a 3/4 in. thick head deck (ideal for nitrous or blower applications). Standard valves are lightweight 8 mm diameter stem, 2.050 in. (comp package has 2.080 in.) intake valve and 1.600 in. exhaust with AFR's hardened ductile iron interlocking valve seats. The exceptional flow characteristics, ideal operating range of 2000 rpm to 6500 rpm, 23° valve angle, and standard valve spacing make this the perfect street head for 350-400 ci engines from 1955-1986.

Also available for 1987 to 1995 cast iron head engines with center bolt valve covers and two center intake bolts at 72° angle, AFR head p/n 033-1041 (dual valve cover bolt pattern is standard — no extra parts required). Exhaust port and bolt pattern are raised 3/32 in. over GM L98 cylinder heads, so this rarely affects header or chassis fitment.
When upgrading from stock iron heads, the afr 195 sbc heads offer a powerful, street-ready solution built for serious performance. These heads combine race-inspired flow with smart street usability—perfect for 350–400 ci small-block Chevy builds seeking reliable power under everyday and spirited driving.
The afr 195 heads feature 195 cc intake runners, fully CNC-ported intake, exhaust, and combustion chamber surfaces, and premium A356 aluminum castings to deliver predictable airflow and consistency. You’ll choose between 65 cc or 75 cc combustion chambers matched to a 64 cc exhaust port, giving you flexibility in compression and power goals. The heads also boast a stout ¾″ deck thickness, which lends strength for nitrous, forced induction, or future performance upgrades.
One of the best parts: the heads ship fully assembled with quality hardware—PAC dual springs, Viton seals, adjustable guide plates, hardened valve seats, and ARP rocker studs. Valves are sized for performance, with standard 2.050″ intake and 1.600″ exhaust—designed to handle cam profiles up to .600″ lift without compromise.
These heads will bolt directly onto most small-block Chevy blocks without exotic parts—no special clearances or radical mods needed. Whether you’re building a high-torque street car or a road course bruiser, afr 195 sbc heads deliver a powerful, usable upgrade with durability built in.
Don’t settle for aging stock heads—choose this afr 195 Eliminator option to give your engine the breathing it deserves, right out of the box.
