how you like them so far?

I think this should be the official TF 240 combo/ET thread.

Build data, car combo, ET results, track you race at, etc.....

I was looking at them at the Nats last Saturday and I have to say they are a much cleaner casting that my Indy EZ's are.
If I ever take my 493 apart I would consider selling the EZ's and get some 240's

Thank you for sharing. Converter and gearing? And is that 3150 race weight or curb weight?
Also ive yet to hear from any users other than you on either trick flow 240/270.

1972 Satellite
Weight was 3200 with driver old combo (440 iron headed, filled with hard block. So little lighter now
New engine B block eagle 4.15 stroker kit 11.1 compression
Out of the box trick flows 240 for roller cam
Harland Sharp rocker arms 1.7 (thanks AndyF)
Comp Roller Cam (thanks fast68plymouth) around 268 dur and 690 lift.
High volume pump with jeg cheap pan and milodon pickup (thats a whole different story)
Trick flow intake out of the box.
950 holley unknown anything about it
MP distributor
super comp headers, open exhaust
8" ptc converter
4.1 gear
latter bar car
transbrake
4 passes on new gear, converter and engine
No timing changes and little rich by looking at plugs
Passes made yesterday at Byron, il
Best pass was 10.214 at 131.04

I would like to see if someone put together the combo Trick Flow said made 620 hp. HP numbers looked optimistic, but if it makes within 30-40 HP of the numbers and curve that Trick Flow said that would still be one hell of a stock stroke street 440.

A guy who runs a Cuda at one of the tracks I race at runs a set. Not sure on his exact combo but it runs 10.40's very consistent. I'll see if I can get more info and post here. I know it's a roller cam. Just not sure on the size exactly.

What is with all the photo bucket pics that don't work?

Photobucket no longer offers free 3rd party hosting for photos and people have to pay now. I for one choose not to, so any existing threads with photos linked to Photobucket do not show up anymore. Many others are choosing to do the same so lots of good threads no longer have photos to view anymore.

The TF 240 heads are very nice. I have about 100 dyno pulls on the 240 heads using various cams, intakes and carbs. Power ranges from 550 to 720 hp using out of the box castings on a pump gas 470. Very nice casting quality, excellent CNC port work, and high quality valve train parts.

Just a few things that people have to watch out for like the different rocker arm shaft studs, different head bolts, longer pushrods and intake gasket alignment.

So are any of these heads fully ported or as delivered. I went 9.79 at 135.59 first pass w/my home ported E-Brocs at about 3200 lbs and went 6.15 @ 109 lifting a bit w/a 1.33 60 at around 3050 but have no flow numbers to compare...........

I won't get to find out until next spring, other projects taking priority and I'm sloooow. lol
67_Satellite checked a couple intake ports & one exhaust port on his bench, 319/320 @.650 -- 263 @ .650
These will be going on 463" RB with a 7.10 rod.

512ci sitting in a bone stock E-body, 3860 with driver. This is my weekend cruiser that see a track once or twice a year. Beting on it for two summers since I built it, old school and simpel.

4.25 x 4.375. B-block
TF 240 OOTB. 802-COO
10.4:1
Holley 850 DP (4781)
Holley SD intake with 1" open spacer
MP .528 with 1.6 rockers
6 Quarter "Hemi pan"
MP Dist 18°/36°
Carter mech fuel pump with 3/8" original fuel line
TTI 1 7/8 headers with full 3" exhaust

T/A 10" converter flash 4400 rpm

Rear 3.91 and 9x28 slicks

Engine has plenty of vacuum for my factory PDB and sound "stock". Best ET so far is 7.29 x 94 MPH.
I hope for one more day at the track so I can do some more adjustments before I change camshaft.

I've got 15 runs with my Trick Flow heads. It's a very mild street/strip car: 68 Charger, 3715 lbs with me and a little over a 1/4 tank of gas.

440 - 030 over
Trick Flow heads shaved 30 thousandths for 10.8:1 compression.
MP Purpleshaft 280 cam
Crane roller rockers, Manton pushrods
Eddy RPM manifold topped with a Holley 850
1 7/8" ceramic headers, 2.5" X pipe with cut outs
Full MSD ignition
3.55 gears, SS springs, 2500 stall converter, Hoosier Quick Time Pro tires

Best 1/4 mile so far: 11.65@117.49 with a 1.66 60'. There's still a little more ET to be had. I'm spinning pretty good off line still.

Here's mine,
1970 Cuda weighs 3490
446 ci RB 10.5 compression Pump Gas
Stock 440 steel crank Icon pistons and Scat Rods
Victor Intake and old style 950hp (small venturi)
260ish solid flat tappet cam ootb 240"s with Smith bros push rods and Harland Sharp 1.5 Rockers
2" Hooker super comp headers and 3" exhaust with Magnaflow Mufflers
8" ATI converter
Its ran a best of 10.42 @ 127 @ US 131

sorry, guess I did forget a few thing's of importance,,that is race weight, the converter is a Ultimate 8" at 5200 stall, shifting at 6600 it appears it is going across the stripe at 6800, 4.56 gear's in a dana and 14X32 Phoenix out back, I still haven't optimized my timing, jetting or shift point's yet, also have not touched the suspension from when Holt's set it up for the smallblock, like I said before these heads are ootb un touched except for different valve springs and guide check.

Double OO that is a really good time for such a mild build. I ssume a lot of it is in the suspension. Care to share the set up? Gear, suspension, tire/wheel size, etc... Is it a ladder bar car?
thanks

It is a ladder bar car. It has RMS upper arms and strut rods up front with Strange single adjustable's. Has strange double adjustable coil overs on the rear. It has 30x9 bias slicks on a 10" rim. I've tried 4.30 and 4.10 gears and it's ran the same ET. I've also had another converter in it and it changed the 60 ft but still ran 10.43.

I plan on putting some radial slicks on it and opening the headers at some point to see what I can get out of it.

I should also say both my converters are pretty loose so I believe that's the reason it wasn't affected by the gear change.

Lift? or its top secret?
