Default Junk Trick flow head?

I need some help locating one so I can use it for fly cutting. I emailed Trick Flow and vengeance where I purchased my original heads from but no dice. Ive tried TEA twice but havent gotten a response. There has to be a place where I can get a broken head so I dont have to risk damaging mine to fly cut. Anyone have any tips on a location?

If you are running TF Heads you have a ton of room in there. Unless you are contemplating running a monster Cam there is plenty of room for
P/V clearance. What are you trying to do that requires Flycutting ?

Running a monster cam . I was planning on upper 230's duration which would put the lift over .600. If there is going to be enough room for that without fly cutting then that would be awesome.

I'm running mid 240's intake/mid 250's exhaust with lift around .630. You don't need to flycut.

Wow the setup you are running is very close to mine. What are your numbers now. Its funny Im running the same size cam you are and Im planning on moving up to A 231/ 236 with the lift being 619 with no concerns at all about flycutting. This is the SPINMONSTER Cam.

I used to have a set of junk heads that were left over after they blew my motor up


I decided to use them for long range target practice to make myself feel better.

Interesting what a ballistic tip 150 grain 30-06 does to cast aluminum.

You will more than likely have PLENTY of room. I have run cams ALOT bigger than that without fly cutting.

Well thats good to know. My current Rwhp is only about 430 due to my manifold. The fast is in my garage waiting to be put on. My tune also leaves a lot to be desired. Its less than good to say the least about it. I havent decided exactly on the cam Im going with but it will be around the mid to upper 230's on both ends. Ill just use some putty to make sure that I dont have any PTV issues and stick that sucker in there.
