I am selling a pair of fully CNC ported AFR 190 heads with 73cc chambers, 2.02/1.90 valves, that have approx 5k miles on them. I just bought these a few days ago from Hockdane on here but didn't realize until I got home that they were perimeter bolt setup and I need centerbolt for the valve covers I already sunk money into. Might sound odd that I'm flipping heads based on valve covers, but I have more than a few hundred in the covers and I'm not going pre-87 now bc of heads, and that's the short of it.

Looking to get my money back at $1000.00 +shipping.

 

Per AFR's website, their heads have dual valve cover bolt patterns - so your centerbolts should work. They aren't showing the 190's anymore, but it says it for both the 180's and 195's.

Did you check with your machine shop to see if they can convert. Might be cheaper in the long run.

 

They also make adapter plates. I beleive Mr Gasket makes them (IIRC)

Check Ebay for the adapter plates to go from perimeter to centerbolt. I got mine from Canadian seller for $75. The only negative was the studs used in the set-up were metric.

 

True the older afr heads did not come with dual bolt pattern only if it was specified when ordered.

 

That would make sense. I saw 5k miles and expected that they were newer heads.

 

You have a PM.
