Jim -
Are the the Ford racing ones you used the same height as the regular
Tiger ones? I'm hoping to squeeze in a set of shaft rockers under the stock
height ones, might even give the chrome ones a try but they look like they
don't have much space since they are stamped.
Again, excellent picture of
other stuff in your build.
Sandy

Re: [Tigers] Aluminum heads and firewall clearance
I put a 'new' 302 H.O
motor in my Tiger last year and it has aluminum
Trickflow heads on it. I used
'Ford racing' valve covers as my 'Tiger' ones
were still on back order from
Rick. They fit the roller rocker heads with
the baffles taken out and minor
grinding. There is a LITTLE room between the
valve covers and the firewall but
I doubt that they could be removed without
lowering the engine a fair
amount... You can see what it looks like here...

Do any of you have any experience trying to fit
a 302 with aftermarket heads
like the Trickflow Twisted Wedge in the engine
bay of your Tiger? Is there
enough clearance at the valve cover to make it
work?
Thanks.
Phillip
