Stage 1 cam and Edelbrock 2.02 heads

[Jack's95gt]

I collected the following performance parts and getting ready to install them in my 93 lx.

Cobra intake
65 mm BBK throttle body
Granatelli 75mm MAFS
24 lbs FMS injectors
ARP head bolts
Cometic head gaskets
1.6 roller rockers
Trick flow stage 1 cam
Edelbrock #60399 heads with the 2.02" intake valves


This is all going into 95 5.0 stock block with new bearings and rings.

Anybody running these heads and cam???
I'm hoping that I have enough PV clearance.
I'm going to clay #1 piston to make sure.

Not likely to have adequate piston to valve clearance with 2.02 intake valves if you are running stock pistons. You mentioned new bearings and rings, but not whether pistons were stock.

1.94 is about as large as you can possibly go with stock pistons on intake valve size before needing to cut larger reliefs.

on stock valve angles yes... but twisted wedges clear 2.02 valves on stock pistons, the valves are canted and are at a steeper angle for more clearance.

and i am not sure of the valve angles of other aftermarket heads. but the TW heads are the only mainstream head i know of that have canted valves
