Trick Flow TW heads/intake ?

[93Cobra5.0]

I am looking into some new heads as the iron gt-40's just arent giving me enough flow for the kind of hp im trying to get.. I know I'm going to get about 60 people telling me to go with afr 185's but I just dont want them.. everyone around here uses them and I want something a little different. Does anyone on here use the TW heads? if so, can the stock pushrods be used with them? any piston to valve clearance issues ? I have a stock bottom end for now with a E303 cam.. in the next year or so it will probally end up with some kind of stroker kit (331 or a 347) at that time I'm sure I'll be swapping the cam out for a comp cams custom grind. Anyone have any idea of a hp increase I should expect to see over the gt-40's ? I dont really want to change the intake manifold b/c I like the motor to look as stock as possible.. they say the cobra intakes are good to 400hp? is this true? Mine has also been ported (upper and lower)

Yes, you can use them with the "Stock Shortblock" as Joe has proved:

1. 5.0L OEM stock shortblock (Natural Aspiration)
2. TFS Twisted Wedge cylinder heads
3. Off The Shelf Comp Cams hydraulic roller
4. Out of the box Holley Systemax 2 intake
5. 75mm T.B. / 73mm M.A.F.
6. 9:1 static compression ratio
7. MAC longtubes, off-road X
8. Tremec TKO
9. Combinaton of QA1 and Baseline Suspension components
10. Weld Draglites 15x8 (rear) pizza cutters (front)
11. Diaphram clutch
12. Mickey Thompson 28x9 ET Drag slicks
13. Last but not least... a *little* weight reduction:D



10.763@123.63... No bottle, no blower, no windmill. Just 3 pedals, atmosphere, and hook.....Oh, and a OEM stock 9:1 c.r. 302 shortblock Fox Lake Racing, Total Engine Airflow, Liberty Transmission.

You will have to get new push rods with the TW heads. I think they're a little over $100 for harden ones from trick flow. With the TW design you should have more piston to valve clearance. I run the TW heads out of the box and I like them.

Your basically going for the the same combo that I'll have on my 91LX. I have TW heads with a GT-40 intake and an e-cam with 1.6rr. Like was said above your going to need longer push rods.

if yoru going to sell the gt40s, a local kid mgith want them, PM if your gonna sell them.

my intake choice: rpm.
