It would be great if there was a comparison with same short block two sets of heads, Trick Flow and Edelbrock or Indy.
Have a great day

These heads look like my EZ heads only much nicer finish. I have to wonder why Trickflow doesn't make rockers to mate with these heads  It cant be a big secret that there are issues with rocker arm geometry on big block Mopar heads. I really like my EZ heads but if these heads were out when I bought my Indys I would have bought these just because the ports look more finished.I had to do a lot of work to my EZ heads to make them work as well as they do.

Is there anything on the deck of the block that would intersect that square divit in the head like any open passage? yes ... the lifter valley ...

I have a few different rockers here I test fit to check the sweep.
The standard HS rockers are really too long. The TF specified part number is the rockers that fit the RPM heads, and they are shorter, so they should fit well.
I also checked an Indy/Dove rocker. Slightly too long.
A Comp Pro-magnum looks pretty good, but the best sweep of the rockers I have here was with a Crane Gold. I believe the "short" HS rockers are supposed to have the same shaft to roller relationship as the Crane Golds, although I haven't had any of those to check myself.
The things I've said I would do differently on these heads are really kind of nit-picky things. Of the currently available BB Mopar offerings, I would say these have the nicest overall fit and finish, especially when you take the price into consideration.
I don't see how you can go wrong with these things for $2000, if they will work in your combination for the level of performance you're after.
Keep in mind, TF guarantees you won't have any problems with the guides, valve job, valves, springs, etc. for two years, and I'm sure most of the heads they sell will get taken out of the box and bolted on.
Would you foresee any problems running the Crane ductile rockers?

fabo also has a thread on these heads and did some flow numbers Yep. And, as usual, something in the water in Idaho leads to inflated flow bench numbers when compared to two others that are virtually identicle.

And, as usual, something in the water in Idaho leads to inflated flow bench numbers when compared to two others that are virtually identicle. Link me, dude. I was waiting for the big numbers from "the Idaho bench" to get posted here. Kinda curious they weren't. But numbers higher than everyone else sorta confirms that the bench is  Maybe Jim did a little magical clean up of the factory porting, hence the bigger numbers (at least that is what I'd claim  ). A guy on the bullet mentioned he got one of the first sets of heads. I advised him to send them to Andy F since they're both in the same state. He said he was sending them to Idaho instead. I warned him about the inflated numbers that come out of that part of the country but he sent them anyway.

It's been my experience that he's usually pretty consistent if he's flowing an as-cast port. It's the "hand ported" results that IMO get really creative. Sometimes darn near impossibly creative.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
