Doesn't Crane make the Ford Racing rockers? Or did I mix up the brand?

I've got a set of roller rockers I bought from Vinnie awhile back, they look like great stuff. I'll go snap a pic of 'em here in a few. I'm getting ready to take the 50 dollar 5.0 (the one that had coolant in 2 cylinders when I tore it down) to the shop Monday for a cleaning. I'm also going to discuss with John (shop owner, known him for years) about boring the block, and doing a little port work on my P heads, or if he still does it.

Sorry Tom, didn't mean to hijack...your build has got me motivated to finally get started on my own :)

Mine will just be a 306, big cam, ported heads, Cobra intake (or Explorer, whichever I decide to use), 65mm TB, no power adder. I'd like to have around 300 horsepower, but we'll see what the shop guy says about my stuff first.

Back on topic. I know you're going to run the Trick Flow heads on the 331 but were you going to do any port work to them? They might be a little small for the 331.

Ummm back in the day when I bought them, folks were saying they were too large for a street 302 & more suited for a 351...

I'll see what the machine shop says, but likely I'm running them as is, not really planning to spin it over 6K RPMs...

I keep hearing that the base Twisted Wedge heads are too small for a 351W. Perhaps Trick Flow has changed the base TW head in the last few years?
