Yeah, the Fel-Pro 1011 gaskets look very similar to the 1006, but they don't have the lock-wire around the cylinders.

Why do you say that?

What were the flow numbers on the stage II porting Brian?

I went back and looked at mine and they were 309int. 226exh. at .500 . Had a major brainfart the other day. Although, I was right on the 300/200 part!

Because in a major engine failure, you can distruy cylinder heads, and I am sure that you don't want to take that chance.

Brain, I hope the cam is not to big, at .050", you know you don't have Twisted wedge pistons, max lift is to be around .516" and the 0.050 is no more than .226". When you build your 427 make shure you get pistons for Twisted Wedge or get the new universal ones that you can switch from the Tsited wedge to a conventional in line head.

he'll be pushing it, but he should be ok. He is running the 'e' cam w/ 1.6 rockers which is a .498 lift

Yeah, I've seen people running F-cams with stock pistons and 1.6rr so I figured I'd be all right with the E-cam. However, I did check the PTV clearance just to be sure.

I'm not really sure. I got them used with no flow sheet. Hell, they could be just a polished up set of out-of-the-blox TW heads for all I know.

I really would like to know what they flow; that's why I posted a thread a while back asking if there were any places with a flow bench around here. I may actually send them off and have them flow tested when it comes time to put them on the 427.

I finally have my own set of roller rockers.

Pretty blue. . . too bad they'll be hiding under the valve covers.

I think the heads are defective -- all the rockers are sitting crooked.

Here are the Fel-Pro 1262's on the GT-40 irons I pulled off. . .

. . .and here are the same gaskets on the Trickflows.

Finally finished!
