Default New heads any possible issues.

Hey guys I have a 370 iron block with a ms3 cam. Im swapping heads to my new trick flow 215's. I also bought yellow terra ultra light roller rockers and patriot gold double springs 650 lift. The push rods are chrome-moly 7.525 5/16 lenght. Do you think i will have any P to V clearance issues and also would I need spacers for my stock valve covers running those rocker arms?

What cc are the heads?

Shouldn't have any clearance issues with the valve covers. Seldom somebody does, but it's rare.

As for pushrod length, I can't stress this enough. Measure measure measure. More than likely, the pushrods that come with your heads won't be right. I did 5 sets of trick flows last year on 346's, and only 1 set came with the right length pushrods. Pushrods should be the very last thing ordered when putting together a motor.

Good luck.

the heads are 64cc unmilled. Do you think my push rods are to long for my set up?
