well trick flow doesnt come in 1.9 intake valves so those are out, only thing left is holley which are ok but too expensive for what they are, eddys are good and cheap, and obviously afr is the way to go if your willing to spend the extra hundreds.

Onyxcobra, unfortunately, I don't have access to any of the documentation for the car at this time. Probably not until early next year. It's all in storage right now.

I think he's trying to avoid piston notching, since the Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads are, well, twisted, they run 2" intake valves without the need to notch pistons making them an acceptable choice among the other 1.9" intake valve heads.

ok well your probably right, just pointing out they dont come with 1.9 valves and if your trying to build a motor more for down low torque and not high horsepower then you would want to run the smaller 1.9 valve, i figured thats waht he was going for.

only that if your using stock bottom end the pistons need to be notched, if you look up at the beginning of the 5.0 page where all the threads and stickies and all that are, there should still be one up there about patriot heads and what they gained on a carbed 5.0 from texas hot rods.
