I wouldn’t be surprised if these are victims of the old adage “timing is everything”, and that a number of possible potential buyers took on a wait and see standpoint when the news broke about the TF small block head being available in September.
I’ll be shocked if the TF’s don’t sell very well right off the bat.

It was my understanding that they stopped selling them, there’s a thread on for A bodies only where a guy used them... they ended up giving him his money back, not sure where they are at now.

If I had to guess, I’d say there are several sets sitting on a shelf somewhere that could be bought. But that’s just a guess.

Yes there was a lengthy post on them. For what ever reason they didn't perform well. It's all in here, somewhere. https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/missed-on-this-combo.374177/ I was close to picking a pair up but figured I would wait until a few guys ran them....I have been the R&D sucker before....now with the trick flows coming to market these heads are likely history. Now with Keith Black looking at doing Gen 3 blocks it’s likely time to move on from LA or magnum builds for me.

Most of the guys it see going with the gen 3’s and walking around like chickens with their heads cut off with very few guys running as good as the old LA stuff. This doesn’t fit that and that doesn’t fit this. To much wasted time and energy from poor research

If the TF small block heads have the same impact on their market as what the BB heads have on theirs...... the Bloomer heads will definitely be a harder sell than what they are now.
