I'm going to have some engine work done and at the same time will be adding some new goodies to the Hugger. I plan on buying TF220 as cast heads; and have already purchased 42lb green top injectors along with a racetronix pump and wiring harness. I'm also upgrading to the Comp trunnion improvement to the stock rockers. Here is what my motor consists of now:

Stock lower end with 52k miles
LS6 Intake
Comp Cams 232/238 .595/.605 @ 112 + 2 (less than 3k miles on it)
Trick Flow pushrods
SLP Lid and ported and polished throttle body
N-Motion LS2 Double Roller (less than 3k miles)
Melling HO Oil pump (less than 3k miles)
Powerbond 25% Underdrive pulley
Hooker 1 3/4 LT's
Hooker LS1 Y-pipe
Magnaflow Catback
Vig 2800-3200 stall
Hayden oil cooler
3:73 gears
381 rwhp 380rwt on a Mustang Dyno

Does this combo look good? I may possibly go to a 383 stroker if I can cough up a bit more cabbage

**** the trunion upgrade, go to harland sharps or comps. also switch to comp 850-16 lifters. and if i were you i'de try to find a used FAST set up.

your injectors are overkill i believe, you plan on tossing it on the jug later on?

I think u should be okay going with 36lb injectors if Ur not planning on spraying

I bought them from a friend at a real good price; I don't plan on spraying.

Does going overboard on injector size cause problems for the overall system?

no ,just have to tune for them.looks like a good combo.the trunnion upgrades are a good idea.mention all this info to the person you buy the heads from, so they cam mill them to you liking.

I would run some Yella Terra rockers instead of the upgraded stockers. You will have to shim them both anyway. You should see better valveguide life.

Mill the heads a bit but I think 62cc will clear easy with a MLS gasket.

LS7 lifters should work fine.

Measure for pushrod length because it will change...

I would have gone with more stall but that is just personal preference


Sounds like a good plan

Looks like my choices of heads are;

My stock ones valve job and ported $600

Used set of 243 casting heads, hand ported, 2.02/1.57 stainless valves, $1000

Brand new TF as cast 220's $1700

I'll take the car to the strip 2-3 times a year; it's mostly a car show/cruise night Power Tour driven car that I'd like to turn mid 11's with.

I could use my stock heads and used the saved cash for a Moser. Or since the rest of the motor will be new I should just buy the brand new 220's..

Thoughts?
