alright, i bought a '91 GT. i bought it from my cousin who got it from a guy in TN that he knows. the guy said that the car has a 302 block with 351 heads, with a five nintey some-odd lift cam(don't really know for sure), Edelbrock performer rpm intake with Holley 750 carb.

i have a few question about this setup. a friend of mine told me that you can only run up to a 1.90" valve or it would slap the piston tops. i would like to get a set of trick flow heads for a 351 with 2.02" and 1.60" valves. these heads will be on a 302 block bored 30 0ver with a 347 stroker kit in it. would the valves be a problem with that setup? if so what pistons would you recommend to let me keep a 10:1 compression ratio? what about cam size?

thanks for any info that you could help me with guys!

Trick flow twisted wedge heads move the valve locations so you can run 202 valves without any PTV clearance problems.
