Thanks! I think I'm just going to go with the bolts. Like baddad said, the dowels will help with the majority of it. ARP bolts are $50. ARP studs...
Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated.
Okay, cool! ARP is the only way for me.
Thanks everyone! Finally ordering my heads this upcoming week and getting everything in line.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. It's already going to be a hassle with the headers. I'll keep pondering.
I was just wondering if anyone has used the head stud kits for a 302-based motor in their Maverick/Comet? Would just like to know how easy and how...
Hey, Evan! Didn't know you were on this forum. This is Jerry. Enjoyed seeing the vids again. This time in HD on my desktop. LOL.
I've been saving every penny I have extra (literally) for a set of aluminum heads. JUST about got the rest of the money together. Family members...
I've heard nothing but good things from him and his wife. They are very polite and professional with their customer service.
Thanks so much for the reply. As far as motor goes, this will be as big as it gets. I don't want anything bigger for the street. Going to talk to...
I may just have to, yeah. How big of a difference though between the 170 and 190 would I notice with a street rod?

Okay, sounds like a winner to me. I'm going to have to get back on the compression calculator and see how much the 62cc 190's will make a difference.
My block is a '76. It was one of the taller ones. I had the shop zero it out.
Thanks for the info! I really like the better price of the TFS compared to AFR.
Yeah, I plan on calling Trick Flow tomorrow and talking with them.
Well, the main reason was I can't find any fast as cast 190's with a 58cc chamber. My stroker combo is based off 58cc to keep the compression to...
That is what I was looking for. Some real life experiences. I have reliefs in my pistons, just not huge ones. What was the lift and duration on...
I'm trying to decide on the PTV clearance of each one. The AFR 185's use 2.020 intake and 1.600 exhaust The Twisted Wedge 170's ones use the...
$1800 and still need to be rebuilt? Wow. I do like the look of iron heads though.
