Trick flow valve springs and roller rocker question??

I am going to go ahead get these heads worked. First thing is are the trick flow valve springs any good. (just type the part number in on summits website to see them.)

Valve Spring Upgrade Kit for OEM Small Ford Heads
This kit allows you to install a high performance cam of up to .542" lift on any 289-351W with OEM cast iron cylinder heads. The kit includes 16 each of 1.47" diameter valve springs with dampers (110 lbs. of seat pressure at 1.800" installed height), chromemoly retainers, valve seals, valve locks, spring shims, a spring height gauge, and instructions.

TFS-2500100 Valve spring upgrade kit for OEM cast iron heads, each
For what its worth I am going to be running the TFS stage 1 cam.


Rockers: I will be using 1.6's. I thought about going with the scorpion 1.6's. it seems that some people on stangnet use them and they are happy with them, but I also thought about just using a simple set of crane 1.6's. Lastly do I need ped. mount or stud mount?

I use that kit on my OEM GT-40's. works well. If you are using your E7 heads or the heads you bought from eric, you will need pedestal mount rocker arms

Buy the cranes. They're excellent parts. The springs are great for the cam. Good choice on everything Brandon! Let me know if you need help.

I think after looking I am just going to buy the DSS ped. mount 1.6's. Theyare only like 5 bucks more than the FRPP's.
