Trick flow 240s on milder builds versus Edelbrock RPMs

Experience with a high compression FE in a Ford Highboy is one of the reasons I lean toward the 84cc combustion chamber of the Edelbrock versus the better breathing trick flow (remember short block machined and balanced). Apples to grapes with an old pickup but to high of compression is a PIA. And at the time the cheaper ( still added up)octane boost did not do much. Seems to be a lot of interest in the FE platform lately.
So the way my luck goes about the time I get the Edelbrocks bolted on the engine Trick flow will offer larger combustion chambers or Edelbrock will offer a CNC option. Once the engine is together like many others I will likely be happy with the current state of the head. In a street car I would likely use the air-conditioning that could be purchased for the cost of port work more than the extra horsepower. But knowing the option is there is pretty awesome.
So the current plan Holley sniper and distributor, Edelbrock rpm heads and intake, TTI 1 7/8 headers, comp cams roller rockers, spool engine mounts, 833 four speed, 3.55 and A/C.
Roller cam and oil pan still undecided. Have 187 pan but prefer more capacity. Have 1/2 pickup.
Oh and factory A body rear tiny fender wells.
The FE ford cylinder head findings will be interesting. For those who have never removed and installed FE cast iron intakes its a real treat. NOT
