i heard those victors r good I’ve gone 9.40’s with my Indy 360-1 heads but I would love porting a set of the Victor heads to see what I could go with them. They require different pistons so maybe when mine are worn out. I’m still running a solid lifter cam so that would have to change too so it would make the expense worthwhile i like my indys

I’m still running a solid lifter cam so that would have to change too so it would make the expense worthwhile i like my indys My buddy bought a set of 245 cnc’d 360-1 heads and then sent them to Ryan and then a local Pa head porter. He has been fighting a water leak and my son and I found a hole in number 7 exhaust. I took them to be welded and pressure tested three different times and finally gave up on them Wednesday. They are paper thin in that exhaust port and someone did some butcher work in that port. He picked up another stock 245 cnc’d head that will be going on.

I gave $700 for the heads, then sent them to Curtis Boggs. He charged $1100 to port, do a 5 angle valve job and mill them to 55cc chambers. What year did that happen? Probably 15 years ago, the heads were bought used.

I would say yes they have gone up. I think I have $15-1600 in the porting in my Indy heads and intake from four years ago.
Maybe as more guys run the Trick Flows their advantage over ported Edelbrocks will show up on the time slip. It would be interesting to see what a good ported could do with a set to see what the potential really is. We had this discussion over on Abodiesony. You can’t buy a head that flows 300cfm@.700 lift and run a .501 purple shaft hydraulic cam and see miracles.

It’s a head aimed at the street, street strip guys. They told me that several times. Rumor is the new intake is very close after some quality control issues and I look for good news from TrickFlow in the near future.

Has anyone noticed the odd shape of the TF exhaust ports? They appear they will not match exhaust gasket ports... especially the outer two ports.

As long as there is a decent amount of material to back up the gasket where the header will be pushing on it, I don’t see any issues.
If the head was made without taking that into account, it would be a pretty big fail.
Since there are several reports of people running them, and no talk of incurable header leaks...... I’m thinking it’s “no problemo”.

Yeah... I'd like to see a picture of a gasket... header gasket... placed over the ports.... Fel-Pro #1413 is most common.
