head swap questions

[cb18201]

im getting some trickflow twisted wedge in about a month or so and i was wonder if anyone had sort of a list of things i would need, right now my motor is bone stock, it still has all the smog crap and a/c, i plan to delete the smog an a/c garbage when i do the head swap. is there anything special i will need to bypass anything or delete this stuff? what else will i need for a head swap? what kind of rockers should i use also, stud or pedastal mount? thanks

I believe all Trick Flow heads are stud mount now...I think they stopped making pedestal mount heads a while back.

You'll also need gaskets, injectors, MAF (or TwEECer) for the new injectors, hardened pushrods, and possibly new valve covers that will clear the stud mount rocker arms...some rocker arms won't fit under the stock 94/95 VC's.

i will need more than 19lb injectors just for a head an intake manifold swap?

I used 19lbs and I believe 1105 used them too. Make sure at the very least you get an adjustable FP reg.

Probably. With heads and and intake you'll be creeping up toward 300 HP which is around the limit of 19# injectors. You might be able to get by with just the heads and intake by using 19#ers and bumping the fuel pressure, but I wouldn't add any more mods on top of it as you'll be stressing them at high RPM's and might even go lean. Just go with 24# injectors as they are good up to 426 HP (or 349 supercharged HP) so they will give you plenty of headroom for mods and room to grow.
