I have a stroker on the way(kinda like its a baby, lol). I have the short block built as shown in the photos section. Now, my question is will a Trick Flow Twisted Wedge head have valve to piston clearance issue with these pistons?? I have a set of HiPo 289 heads with 1.94/1.60 valve on the way but I can get a killer deal on a set of Trick Flow heads but I don't need them if it will be a problem. I am thinking of running a E or F cam in it so that will get the valve lift decided and I think it will have 1.7 rocker, not sure?? The stroker is an Eagle with KB pistons if that will help any. Thanks

The TW's should work just fine.

If the pistons are not cut for the TW, then yes you may run into problems. A 347 with a ABC cam is not going to work to well. I would go for a custom, or better shelf cam. Comp has some nice shelf cams, but are pricey. The best bang for the buck, are the TW cams.

The guy that has the heads also has a trick flow cam. But I don't know the specs. You can pretty much look at the pistons and tell if they are cut for the twisted wedge heads right?? I have the pics of the pistons and short block in the photo section.

Your Pistons are not cut for TW heads....but you may clear with those huge notches.......I would check and double check piston to valve clearance, Even then you might not be able to run a cam of much size for the stroker... |

Well lost the deal on the heads... Used TW heads for 5k miles then wrecked the car, came with roller tip 1.7 rockers and push rods. $600 and the guy down the street offered $750, I ain't got that kinda available bank.

Back up for sale... I might just buy them for GP for $650. I'll either sell them or put them on another ride like the one below... That would wake it up...
