Read the 270 articles that I've written and study the pictures. You'll see that I used standard offset rocker arms on the 270 heads and that I've used a standard port intake on the 270 heads.
It might not be "ideal" but it can get you up and running and then6 you can upgrade from there. Andy , You say you used an offset rocker . Trickflow on Summit show Harland Sharp S70015KE , which lists for a Edelbrock rpm on HS site Victors are listed as using S70015EVK which are .650 offset So do the 270s use non offset or offset ? Tex Not offset. S700115KE supposedly corrects geometry issues with the Trick Flos. Just bought a set. Thanks markz528 So you could possibly use the Crane standard rocker if geometry works ? I know it sounds like I am beating this to death BUT if I go this way I am looking at over $1300 of my quality Aussie dollars plus shipping . Tex 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.

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
Quote from Summit - Q: Do these heads run an offset rocker?? Asked by KEITH E on September 12, 2017 A: 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. Summit Racing Answer - October 16, 2017
If you can link your rocker test , would be great . Someone's wires may be crossed .

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.

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,

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
