Description:

Engineered to breath new life into the 7.3 Powerstroke!

Kill Devil Diesel’s Delta Series CNC Ported Cylinder Heads bring modern airflow engineering to the classic 7.3L Power Stroke delivering massive gains in performance, drivability, and reliability while retaining OEM casting integrity and factory fitment.

We started with genuine Ford castings and applied the same proven engineering approach behind our industry-leading ICON Series heads. Every port profile was developed using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), refined on our SuperFlow SF-1020 flow bench, and validated with DynoJet 224XLC testing. The result is a clean-sheet port design inspired by the high-swirl, high-efficiency architecture found in modern diesels like the 6.7L Power Stroke and 6.7L Cummins.

Named in honor of the elite U.S. Army Delta Force, this series reflects the same values that define those operators: precision, discipline, and reliability under extreme conditions. While our mission is vastly different from theirs, the standard they represent is one we deeply respect and strive to reflect in our craft, we aim to bring that same level of intentionality and execution to everything we machine.

Performance Gains (Setup Dependent):

• Up to 50+ horsepower and 125+ lb-ft of torque real world gains with supporting modifications (KDD Camshaft, upgraded turbo, inejctors...ask about our power packages)

• 40% increase in airflow over stock

• Lower EGTs, quicker turbo spool-up, and crisper throttle response

• Precision laser scans of factory castings allowed for 3D modeling of water jackets and ports, allowing for total control of wall thickness in critical areas for the durability and dependability 7.3's are known for.  

Whether you’re building a performance street truck or a competition setup, the Delta Series heads are engineered to take your 7.3 to a level it was never meant to reach; until now.
