Title: Heads and 1.6 rockers?
Post by: marianadeeps on July 03, 2014, 12:03:10 AM

Hi,

I've finally have all the parts together for my HO conversion (HO cam, injectors, A9P, GT40 intake, TB). I just need decent heads and rockers (guides etc...). I have the flat top pistons so I have be careful about the parts I use. Iron or aluminum.
I was considering some GT40 3 bar heads on ebay but you never know what you're going get. What's the best bang for the buck? Advice is always appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm now trying to convince myself to go with Trick Flow 170s. The gt40p's might hit my flat top pistons.

I have a set of e6 heads from an '86 ho that have 1.6 rockers on them. The '86 had flat top pistons so no concerns about clearance. I also have a set of 1-5/8 headers that match. Let me know if you're interested in either.

thanks for the offer. I have e6 heads as well and am looking to upgrade to something else. My understanding now is that we can either port the heck out of a set of E7s or buy the Trick Flow TW 170's. From what I've read, it's not practical or worthwhile to port E7s. So it looks like I'm looking for Trick Flow TW 170's.
