Was going to go 480 but figured the quality control little girl found some of your screwups and pointed them out.

She's still young for that, but I'm sure it's coming.....ROFL

I think the TFS heads will do ok.  Their biggest hang-ups are that the chambers are small-ish and the rocker stands need work.  You can't just slap a set of rockers on.  I've talked to Garifo about it and maybe he can start offering some reduced height stands if the heads turn out to make good power.

Sorry, realized I worded that poorly.  I wasn't referring to port match, I was looking at how FEs basically have a large continual curve to the intake tract.  My hunch is that the flow numbers for the heads are good, but bolt up the intake and the overall flow drops more than a small block (assuming the intake is good as well and is not the bottleneck).  Again, no data there, just the only bottleneck I can think of would be the intake tract turning as a whole. 

Don't want to get too far with this discussion as it feels negative when that's not the intent, focusing on the opportunity to have OOTB CNC'd heads for the FE to play with.  Hope this 390 kicks ass.

It wasn't your wording, I was just making conversation about the intake manifold choice for that combination.  I understand your point though.

I think it's going to be a nice piece.  It belongs to forum member Dennis Towle.  It's going in a 64 Fairlane.
