No Trickflow intake. had a 93 cobra upper and lower with a 1" spacer , a bbk 70mm throttle body and 24lb injectors. (all of which are for sale.... lol)

*edit* dug a little deeper, they do seem to be TFS TW heads. look at the pictures below...
Check out the casting marks I circled around the head bolts...

when i got the car i was told it was a dss 347 with trickflow heads that had 2.02 valves in them. I am in the process of slowly pulling it all apart as it is a little low on oil pressure so i am going to install new oil pump and cam,crank,and rod bearings while im at it as i am figuring out what is fact and what is bull that the previous owner told me. its looking promising if these are trickflow heads.....


i guess now i have to figure out how to tell if it is a dss block


thanks again everyone (expecially you AdderMk2 for finding those pics of the tw heads)

DSS blocks are stock blocks... they are nothing special.

When you pull the heads off, lay a straight edge across the top of one of the cylinders, and rotate the crank until one of the pistons reaches BDC. Measure how deep in the hole it is. Should be 3.4"

DSS etches their logo and block level on the back of the block, just behind where the lower intake goes. Judging by your pictures, I can't see this.
