TrickFlow heads. 2.05 or 2.08 intake valves.

Well I pretty much wasted a shop day measuring intake valves trying to locate and decide which valve size to go with. It’s a lot of extra work for little payoff on an Edelbrock head stepping up to a 2.08 valve and making it payoff but that’s starting with a 170cc head and hand porting to a 195cc runner. Now I’m at a advertised 190cc runner and I’m going to weld up the pushrod pinch to open it up some more. The biggest issue I found today is the TrickFlow head uses a valve that is .200 over an already .100 over length valve size on our Edelbrock heads. I guess maybe I will do some welding, grinding, and flow testing with one of my 2.05 Edelbrock valves and see where I’m at. Hmmm I’m working to hard at doing nothing.
