Provided is a cylinder head including a head casting defining a plurality
of exhaust ports. A tuned exhaust manifold is internally defined by the
head casting. The tuned exhaust manifold includes a plurality of exhaust
runners in communication with the plurality of exhaust ports and a
collector volume in communication with the plurality of exhaust runners.
Each of the plurality of exhaust ports and each of the plurality of
exhaust runners are substantially oriented or directed toward the
collector volume. Additionally, the head casting defines a main cooling
jacket operable to cool the head casting. The head casting also defines
an upper and lower cooling jacket disposed in heat exchange relation to
the tuned exhaust manifold. The cylinder head casting may include
integral spark plug tubes and cam drive case. Additionally, the cooling
jackets may have a series coolant flow pattern or a parallel coolant flow
pattern.
