Nice score! I was going to say they look like my Trick Flows! And yes, I believe they will work well on your planned build. I am happy with mine! But good advice about taking them in and having them inspected - afterall, they were used AND free.....

Yes i agree 100% the ho block was free and the pistons for over 40 were free. Ill have it all checked out. Maybe the machine shop guy (names thad) would take a piglet per cylinder to bore it. I think he charges 30 a hole. Lol im a hog farmer BTW :0

If any of you are in the dallas or fort worth area my grandpa (David Gardner) owner of gardner paint and body or hot rod paint of texas is a master at body and paint work. Also builds drag cars. Worked on bruce allen and john forces cars back in the day. Look into him. Say you know his grandson see if he gives you a discount lol dont hold your breath though. He is really flexible on price.

Strokers make more power cubes=power.
Ls swap guys do I because they either can't build an engine ( lol jk.... sorta) or the fact that the fox is an amazing platform to work off.

Pedestal rocker arms on Twist Wedge heads? I thought all TW heads utilized stud mounted rockers?

Good deal on the heads man, get it all checked out at the machine shop and then you're good to go on a 308 with those. I'm north of Dallas in Little Elm, are you in this area too?

For your purposed 308-you can reuse the stock rods/crank. You should have them checked out and see if they need any work(resized,new bolts,etc etc). I would add a new harmonic balancer,water pump,oil pump etc with new bearings,rings,etc

Those heads will do just fine on a 308. I made quite a bit of power with them and they are small for my motor.

Good call on the rockers @Gearbanger 101 .

Trick flow stage 1 or an Anderson n41 would work well I'm sure .

I had a Tfs 1 in my stock block build and I like it nice cam for a street car cruiser

If you want to upgrade, you might consider putting a little more money into working those heads over. At the end, I think you'd make more power for the money than trying to swap for a larger version.

Great score BTW. I look forward to projects when the OP's current project looks squared away too.

You should be able to part the motor out for at least 500$(heads-200$,intake-75-100$,shortb-250$ or so)
