TF 190 Heads

Apparently, the mods got fed up with the direction of the last Trick Flow thread and blocked further replies. So, let's a take a deep breath and get back to a relevant and helpful discussion for the Trick Flow heads, please.

I believe the heads are going to prove to be the best bang for the buck in a street, to mild race, application. The port cross section is not large enough to support high rpm in large cubic inch strokers, but we'll see what Trick Flow has up its sleeve for a competition port in the future.

I have a 416 build in process using the TF 190 head, but it won't be ready to dyno until at least late August. It is a backup motor for a Daytona drag car, so I have no idea when the customer would have timeslips. I'm sure by that time many others will have results that show the potential of the heads.

Anyone planning to attend the All Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle this year can see the small block Trick Flow heads, and purchase them at a "show special" deal. The same thing applies for those looking for the big block 240 and 270 heads. I'll be at locations A9-A10, so stop by to check them out.

I tried to get at least a prototype of the small block manifold for display this year, but no luck. It would have been nice to get a look at the port shape and design, but according to Trick Flow, they changed foundries and the manifold may not be available for a while. Even the big block manifolds are on backorder because of the change. Apparently, the old foundry wasn't getting something right. They sure know how to keep us hungry for more, lol.


Will the 273 style rocker arms work with these heads?
