why wouldnt trick flow still make em if they were that good?[&:]
My friend told me they stopped making them thats exactally what I thought. If the heads were SO GOOD why did they stop ??? But from everything I am hearing/reading they are supposed to be really good heads, especially when ported (which they already are). I have to try and get the specs on them though. They still do make a newer version of the high ports but from what I hear they are not that good.

kooks, accufab. A regular header will not work, just take a look at the exhaust configuration and the rise on it.

Im not gonna muddy the water, but there were lawsuits regarding TFS and another party, thats all I will say. Run em or sell em, its one of those things you dont need to try and dig the info up as to why. There a great head, period. Your better off selling them if you have limited to no experience with them.

they *should* bolt up unless they have a custom flange size, you may run into alignment issues where the headers meet the rest of the exhaust system if the exhaust ports are raised on the heads.... thats all

The exhaust is raised over .750 thou and the valve cover rail is another .400 thou raised.

I have been researching quite a bit today and alot of people are saying that they do not recommend the newer Hi Ports but will not give reasons... there are NOT the new set of hi ports though, these are the older versions. Are there still problems with the older ones? Please PM me if you would like with reasoning. I dont feel comfortable buying a set of heads with people basically telling me dont ask anything about them, just sell them. I planned on running either accufab or bassani headers anyway
