Trick flow 240 Heads with Factory Six Barrel Intake

[SixBarrelBill]

Was your 408 LA or Magnum based? The Magnum block has a lower deck height, and requires the intake manifold to be milled to fit, no matter what heads you run

Ah ha! That make sense now. Yes, it is a '94 Magnum block. Thank you for the info!!

I had to clearance the baffles in the valve covers to clear the roller rockers.

What brand of roller rockers did you use?

I used TTI headers along with their 2 1/2 exhaust system

Nice, what's it run?

Ive not been to track
I will say - no issue keeping up with my hellcat ( 5 speed passon ) and eats corvettes at lights on street . Lol .

Very nice! What size Cu In? Based on 700 lb-ft, i would guess 540 or more? Nice output.

I'm going to give Trick Flow's tech line a call tomorrow but thought I would ask here for real world experience.

I've got a '70 Roadrunner 440 Six Barrel with the cast iron intake. It's time for an engine refresh and I'm looking at getting the Trick Flow 240 heads. I know I will end up port matching the intake which is fine with me.

We are running trick flow heads on my daughters 71 Demon, 408 stroker. This engine has the Edelbrock Proflow 4 which has the super victor intake. We ended up having to mill the intake .060 to sit correctly with the heads...the deck was not milled.

My question is, are any of you running this head with a factory six barrel intake and stock block deck height? I've got an air grabber hood that I love, so I don't want to get a set of heads that may cause any clearance issues with it. Or cause me to loose the six barrel setup that I have.



Thanks, Bill

Bill, did you ever get a clear answer on this question? I am planning to use 240 heads with my aluminum six pack intake. Will I need to port my intake to match up with the heads?

I have this same set up, just port matched the intake.

 

[KenvLavigne]

Thanks very much!

Did you run it at the track and get your 11.5 et?

 

[69 GTX]

I will find out this spring, but I'm pretty sure it will.

 

[BSB67]

Looking forward to it. Not too many street guys going to the track to measure actual car performance these days.

 

[69 GTX]

I'm more a track guy. My GTX is probably geared more towards track, but still street able. Kinda a Drag Week style car with AC & OD.

 

[BSB67]

I try to get out 4-5 times for test and tune or track rental , but it's full-on street car.

The results were:
Street Dominator
635 lb ft @ 4400 rpm
594 hp @ 5400 rpm

Factory iron Six Barrel w/ factory air cleaner installed
608 lb ft @ 4300 rpm
576 hp @ 5400 rpm

Mine results are very similar, but with ported Eddy Heads, not TFs, and minus headers.

Street Dominator
599 hp @ 5800
616 lbft @ 4400

Six Pack
570 hp @ 5600
595 lbft @ 4200

My next 505 to 511 build may have some TF240's with my Sixpack. All good info here.
