Yes feel free to ask questions that's how we all learn, plus a lot of folks have been there and done that

I'd like to thank all who replied. I appreciate the information. I wasn't planning on EFI but I don't have a problem with it. In tank pump and return already in the car. I'm leaning toward the RPM intake. How tall it sits on these heads will be the deciding factor. I know a SD will fit. Final question on the rockers. I've researched the previous posts and links and I'm still not sure which ones to look closer at. For the guys using these heads what rockers are you using and are you happy with them. Thanks again

I used a brand new set of Crane ductile iron I found for $100. No moving parts or bearings to cause problems and no aluminum to fatigue. I follow KISS. grin

Which heads are you buying?
Don't go for the cheapest rockers you can get because that is what you will get work
Buy the best ones YOU can afford up
You only have to buy one set of good rocker arms, not three sets of cheap ones whistling shruggy
BTW, I am probably the only guy on here that was born smart, my grandfather told me to buy Chrysler products from day one whistling grin
AKA aside, most of us, not all of us though whiney , on here are here to help any one asking for it up

I've decided to go with the 240 heads. I talked to my machinist and he likes those also. I can afford good parts but I want the right parts. This is my last big engine and I want it right the first time.

I believe Harland Sharp has come out with a new KE Series rocker specially for the Trick Flow heads. IIRC it is shorter in length.

You've gotten some really good advice Frank. GY3's first post to me is the best combo, I like it all. If price isn't a large concern, I would go with T&D rockers.

Actually, the "E" is for Edelbrock(they were available prior to the TF heads existing)...... And yes, they're a bit shorter.
.060 IIRC.

They are also the correct ones to use with the TF heads.
