Default New "Vintage" Trick Flow heads

The time has come, and our new DHC 175 cylinder heads for small block Chevy are available for purchase! They are being assembled as we speak, and will be shipping by the end of the week!

Trick Flow's new DHC 175 cylinder heads give small block Chevy enthusiasts a new performance option. No longer will anyone have to choose between vintage looks or modern cylinder head power, with DHC 175 heads you get both!

DHC 175 heads are made from premium grade A356-T61 aluminum and have the exterior styling and straight spark plug holes that deliver the nostalgic appearance customers want. On the inside, 60cc CNC-profiled combustion chambers with blended bowl machining under the valves and small cross-section intake runners promote low-RPM torque increases and boost high-RPM horsepower! The runners are finished with Trick Flow's superior Fast As Cast process that precisely duplicates the runner profile and performance levels of fully CNC-ported heads without the added machining cost. In keeping with the vintage design, the heads are available with or without accessory bolt hole cast into them.

Not only that, 40 lbs. comes off the nose of the car! $740.97 ea. with .600 lift Hydraulic roller springs...with or without accessory bolt holes drilled. On a 350, 60cc chambers net 10.6:1 with your average 5cc flat top piston, .040 gasket, and .010 in the hole at tdc. This is fine for pump gas. A 327 will be 10:1.

Great looking heads.
So you have $1482 pr.
+ guide plates $?
+ special head bolts $120
+ longer pushrods $100
+ headgaskets $100
+ rockers studs $?
+ longer sparkplugs $50
+ rockerarms $?
Roughly two grand when all said and done with intake and valve cover gaskets, supplies, etc.

most those are extras you have to do with a head swap anyways
a stellar port job big valves with everything gone through will run you that much easy

Wish I had something to stick them on would love to try a set out

Exactly. I was making a point that a $700 head turns into two grand later. With each head company you really have to read the fine print. Is that price a pair or for each?
Is it bare or loaded? Few sales reps will tell you about all the add-ons. When I purchased my alum heads, no one informed me that I would need longer pushrods $100 and $100 headgaskets or longer reach sparkplugs, etc, etc, etc.

I was merely giving newbies the heads-Up.

Those look great! If enginequest / AAmidwest won't stand behind their heads on my brand new rebuild, I'd love to give those a shot.

I picked up my used L98 '128' heads for a lot of those same reasons. By the time junkyard heads are refurbished and fix the poor exhaust flow you have about that amount of money (and downtime) sunk in them anyway. Will definitely consider these the next time I need heads.

Pretty close.

FelPro intake gasket 1256 $17.97
FelPro exh Gaskets 1404 $15.97
Guideplates TFS-30400623-8 included
Studs TFS-51400613 included
Head Bolts TFS-92000 $79.97
MLS Head Gaskets TFS-30494060-040 $79.97
Autolite 3924 plugs $26.32
TFS pushrods $99.97

Parts total $319.20 Rockers vary based on flat tappet or roller etc., but the TFS-31400510 (1.5 ratio) or TFS-31400511 (1.6) run $289.97

We do price heads as singles rather than pairs. Racers blow stuff up all the time and buy heads as singles....hence the need.

Nice ones! Where will they be available?
Is it true that Trick Flow produces heads for Summit?

are they different than the old 175cc head? Just bring back the twisted wedge G1 with good guides and offset rockers included...

Nice! I think you guys are onto something here. This is a great option for a stock-appearing build that brings the horsepower with it.
