Did you read the rocker arm article I wrote? I tried a bunch of different rocker arms on Trick Flow heads. There shouldn't be a lot of questions left after reading that article. I tried basically everything that is currently available.

thanks markz528

Andy ,
I am not being a smart ar$e .
I have seen some of your rocker info re the 240 head and you said Cranes were fine . All I have seen on the 270 was your pictures/dyno test and use of offset high ratio ones.
TrickFlow list a non offset rocker . markz528 also notes the listed rocker is not offset

Q:
Do these heads run an offset rocker??

Thank you for your question. The Trick Flow Specialties TFS-61617801-C01 cylinder heads do not require an offset rocker arm. They use all factory-style big block Mopar shaft mount rockers.

If you can link your rocker test , would be great .

The 240's and 270's use the same rockers.

Std offset, like what you'd use on a stock head or RPM head.

Go look at the TF270 articles and you'll see that I used the same exact rocker arms as on the TF240. Both the 240 and the 270 use standard offset rocker arms.

Thanks

Where would the Indy little ez 295 or 325 compare to the TF 240,270? They use standard rockers.

Trick Flow heads are a better value.

Has anybody used this part that trickflow came out with ??

Trick Flow Specialties TFS-61600830 - Trick Flow Specialties Valley Pans and Gaskets

I used the valley plate for the 400 block. Its a nice quality part but there is a good gap between the plate and the head that needs to be filled with RTV. I think this part is only for the MW/270 head, the standard port/240 uses a valley pan.

I used Andy's valley plate and bat wing gasket system and it works quite well with my TF 240's.

Well I just ordered the Trick flow 270 heads. They should be here next week. Thanks everyone for the advise and suggestions. I am looking forward to getting my hands on these heads. Is there anything that I need to do before I bolt them on?

Thanks again,

Only thing i have read is check valve guide clearance , can be a little tight

Tex

how can I get a set of those bat wing spacers andy makes

Heads came today! They look AWESOME! I can't wait for the weekend to start installing them.

Look forward to your results . Please let us know which rocker setup you use and how they fit up . Plus of cause how they perform on your engine package

Tex

Got mine through Mancini . Have to wait till June mid season winter break to fit them up

that is not a aggressive cam at all try not to have heads that flow too many cfm compared to lift as you will have the volume but not the velocity of air and you will have a high revving dog of a motor. Compared to a head that is suited to your cam. I am not a mechanic but the camshaft to me sets the pace. It is the foundation. Understand what it wants and you will have a successful build. Get it wrong and you will have wasted your time and money. Buy your came from somewhere like summit racing and talk to the folks in there tech department. No I do not work there I am from Canada but those folks will steer you in the right direction. Other than that get a desk top Dyno heard they are fairly accurate. Everyone want a simple answer but simple answer are not so simple. I am new and actually signed up because I couldn’t find answer that made sense. You Mopar guys really safe guard your info. Weird

When it comes to guys, gals now also, and drag racing there are several different types of guys, gals and racers. Some that will help and some that won't
Some of those that will share info that have valid info, there are others that will share with you what they know but may not fully understand how to tell you useable information and their are some of those that will intentionally mislead you when you ask them for help
Be carful on who you use for information gathering
Drag racing and private flying are very similar, neither one is getting bigger from growth and more racers and air plane owners and pilots
