Ford Racing 5.2L RH Cylinder Head for 2021 GT500 - CNC Ported, Lightweight Valves - M-6049-M52B

Ford Racing 5.2L RH Cylinder Head - Get Serious About Power

So, you’re looking to crank up the performance of your Ford? Let’s talk about the Ford Racing 5.2L RH Cylinder Head. This isn’t just any upgrade; it’s a piece of engineering that’s been honed over decades of racing heritage. Originally part of the Ford Performance lineup, this head is designed to take your engine to the next level, especially if you're working with a 5.0L Coyote engine.

Why This Head Matters

First off, this isn’t just a bolt-on and go kind of deal. You’ll need to swap out some components to make it work. Specifically, you’ll be looking at needing unique camshafts because of the new valvetrain geometry. But trust me, the effort is worth it. This head is packed with features that will really wake up your engine.

What’s Inside?

  • Upgraded version of the Ford Performance 5.2L cylinder head
  • Fully CNC ported intake and exhaust ports, plus combustion chambers—this means better airflow and power
  • Larger ports compared to the older 2015-2017 5.0L Coyote heads, so you’re getting more air in and out
  • 38.3mm intake and 32.5mm exhaust valves, which are bigger than the stock sizes from the earlier models
  • Lightweight hollow-stem intake valves and sodium-filled exhaust valves help reduce weight without sacrificing strength
  • Stiffer exhaust valve springs for better performance under load
  • Upgraded valve guides and exhaust valve seats for durability
  • Packaged weight of 43 lbs and dimensions of 13" x 11" x 22"—easy to handle but solidly built

Installation Insights

Now, a heads-up: if you’re planning to install these on a 5.0L engine, be prepared to do some piston modifications. You’ll need to ensure proper piston-to-valve clearance, which is crucial for avoiding any nasty surprises down the road. Plus, you’ll also need to grab a head-changing kit to get everything in place.

Where to Get It

They stock the Ford Racing products you need, and you can trust that these parts are designed to fit right into your stock setup.
