Very nice! :nice:

I have a question, did those heads come without the rocker studs and guideplates, or are they shipped without them installed and bagged seperately?

I was wondering because I bought a set from someone and they were uninstalled, still in the plastic bags, but no rocker studs or guideplates. He gave me seperate bags with the rocker arms and locks, so I'm wondering if he just forgot the guideplates and studs or if he took them off for some reason.
 
If those are TFS heads (I can't read the end of the head, but the valves look canted), I'm almost certain that I had to install the guideplates myself when I installed mine.

Mine are Trick Flow 190s 'track heat' heads and they shipped without studs or guideplates installed but included in the box in plastic bags. If you check Summit they are TFS-51400015 and the studs and guideplates are there in the picture included with heads.
 
That's the same heads, and what you tell me confirms what I thought. I guess he just forgot to give them to me.

Oh well, I still got those heads (mine are o-ringed), the rockers, new TFS 351w Track Heat upper/lower w/ new sensors, new fox body 351w swap headers, 30# injectors and MAF for 1600$, so I came out alright even if I have to spend 120$ or so for new plates and studs. :D
