Twisted Wedge heads with a stroker?
 

Hi guys;
I'm going to buy a new aftermarket crank and rods for my 351w, so i decided buy a stroker.Which stroker kit (377,383,393,408...) can TFS tw heads work properly (redline 6500rpm)?Thanks...

V-8, I'm running Trick Flow heads on my Windsor. It's punched out to 427 and has been significantly ported (heads and Vic. Jr. intake). There's a great article on fordmuscle.com regarding SBF head performance comparisons. If I had it to do over, I would probably go with AFR 205s and bigger header tubes (I've got 1 5/8" tubes currently). I replaced a stock stroke Windsor with my current rig and am still amazed at the difference in performance (I've gotten real used to fish-tailing in first and second). It pulls particularly strong through 6,500 RPMs, but has plenty of low end punch as well. Check my gallery for some motor pics.

Trick Flows on a stroker
 

Gentleman
I've come back after a long absence for the same line of questioning. I've been doing allot of digging on the subject.
I already have a set of trick flows with new Ferrea valves on a 302 in a '90 mustang that runs low 13's with stock cam 3.55 gears and those rotten bfg drag radials....

I plan to build a 393 or 408 stroker and put the twisted wedge heads on it, then sell the '90 in favor of a recently acquired '69 fastback.

MOST stroker kits ARE NOT TWISTED WEDGE COMPATIBLE.
Because of the location of the valves. I have emailed / talked to several kit suppliers, TMD (see ebay) does supply a kit with nodular crank, H beam rods, and probe forged full floater pistons for $1089 +s/h that seams to be the best deal out there. They claim that the pistons are twisted wedge compatible and yield approximately 11:1 with 62cc chambers, I believe the twisted wedge chambers are larger than that.

As always, I'd check the set up with clay including a headgasket of the thickness you plan to run, and the valve to rocker clearance recomended by the cam manufacturer to make sure everything has enough room at max lift / duration, especially if you plan to index the cam at all.

Also, according to several machinists I trust, if you are going to spend lots of time in the high rpm range as in road racing, then stock rods will not do. H beams rods with forged full floating pistons are the way to go.
For bracket drag racing / street use, stock rods with arp bolts and forged pistons with pressed pins are fine.

I agree with the previous comment, if I had it to do over again, I'd go with afr heads, with a big stroker 205s with a smaller street engine 185s.....

Either way, check twice!
