1994-1995 Cobra Heads

The 1994-1995 Cobra Heads refer to the cylinder heads used in the 1994 and 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra models. These heads are known for their performance-oriented design and were specifically developed to enhance the power output of the Mustang Cobra’s engine.

Here are some key details about the 1994-1995 Cobra Heads:

Engine Compatibility: The 1994-1995 Cobra Heads are designed to fit the Ford 5.0L V8 engine commonly referred to as the “Windsor” engine. These heads are not compatible with the earlier 5.0L High Output (HO) engine or the later 4.6L Modular V8 engine.

Material and Construction: The Cobra Heads are typically made from cast iron, which provides durability and heat dissipation properties. They feature a specific casting design optimized for improved airflow and performance.

Port Design: The Cobra Heads come with a unique port design compared to the stock heads found on standard 5.0L Mustang models. The ports are typically larger and more efficient, allowing for increased airflow into the combustion chamber. This improved airflow helps enhance engine power and performance.

Valve Size: The Cobra Heads feature larger valves compared to the stock heads. The intake valves are usually 1.84 inches in diameter, while the exhaust valves are typically 1.54 inches in diameter. The larger valves facilitate better air intake and exhaust flow, which can contribute to improved engine performance.

Combustion Chamber Design: The combustion chambers of the Cobra Heads are typically smaller than those of the stock heads. The smaller combustion chambers increase the engine’s compression ratio, which can lead to improved power and torque output.

Power Increase: The installation of the 1994-1995 Cobra Heads on a compatible 5.0L Mustang engine can result in a significant power increase. The exact power gains will depend on other factors such as the overall engine setup, supporting modifications, and tuning. However, it is not uncommon to see gains of around 20-30 horsepower or more with these heads.

Installation and Compatibility: The installation of the 1994-1995 Cobra Heads requires some technical expertise and knowledge. They are typically considered a performance upgrade and may require additional modifications and components to ensure compatibility and proper operation. It is recommended to consult with an experienced mechanic or engine builder to ensure correct installation and to maximize performance gains.
