Default Trickflow 215's and MS3
Thinking of doing some trickflow 215cc heads on my stock shortblock with the MS3 cam.The heads are 59cc chambers. Will I be 'ok' with the ptv clearance? What head gaskets?

Or you can save money and do this with no PTV worries if you don't have the MS3 already.. https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...cator-cam.html

Changing the cam is not a option

That will not clear! You will need less cam, or a different head with more valve drop!

Why does it have to be 59cc chambers?

We have numerous heads that will work. Our ported GM casting Stage 1 LS6, Stage 2.5 LS6, and Stage 2.5 5.3L heads all work when setup for that cam. Also we can setup the PRC 215's and 227's to clear. Of course the TrickFlow 215's will clear it if they have not been milled as well!

We offer all of the heads I've mentioned at competitive pricing and would be happy to help!

What was your minimum pistons to valve clearance?

It is very close when it comes to piston to valve clearance.

What makes you think that 5.3s have smaller chambers than TFS 215? Aren't the 215s 64cc??Not to mention the 5.3s can't hold a candle next to the 215s
