Ive read alot recently about the flat top pistons. Truthfully only way to know is to check the PVC. And probably notch the pistons.. But, some have commented they have been able to clear with E7 heads some with a small cam change.. TW heads will clear Ive read.. BUT, has anyone actually bolted a set of gt40/gt40p heads and cleared? Any with gt40 heads and roller rockers?? I'll no doubt have to check myself.. but if some people have cleared.. it would give me hope!

for one, polter are you the polter dude on corral that had the yellow hb?

for two, they will prob not work. i really dont see how you could get around it without notching the pistons. Big pain but it most likely needs to be done unless your skimming by with a even lower lift cam. i'd just find a 87-93 bottom end and stick it in with everything else on top. Its another way you could and only heads i've ever heard that fit was once just a account of E7's and TF heads.. thats all i've heard
