i have stockers but did you have the powdered metal guides pressed in? I had two sets of brand new TFS245s that had the guides pressed in and all the ports where they were pressed in Cracked. This is the reason I asked for refund and went Mast heads. I was told the cracks were ok but to pay 2800 for the heads wasnt right for me. The cracks were first discovered cause machine shop tore heads apart to check spring heights and they were off as well..

 

Damn good to know, yes i had the powder metal guides from tfs. I want definately have them inspected and double check clearances and spring specs. I just left them stock for now, your truck is pretty damn clean also.

 

Converting to a 2 door? Sheet metal an welding rear door area solid then?

 

Nice high end build man , sweet TBSS !

Why did you not just add twins to the 416/drivetrain ?
Just curious is all . Don't get me wrong I'd love to rock a LSx 427.

And what was your tire/wheel combo ? Throw in a side pick , looks good
I'd like to see more

 

if you ask the person you got the heads from they will say they are fine, if you have a good machine shop tear them down and check installed height and spring rate youll may discover a few things that you wont be happy about or you may not. Its worth a few bucks to check and have piece of mind. Id still have TFS245s if it wasnt them cracks...Then the entire wait of months and **** only to find out the 2nd set was cracked. My 427 would be home by now if it wasnt for that ****

 

We had the motor taken apart and the 416 was originally built when the 376 went with the blower because of awesome tuning skillz by an unmentioned tunner.

The 2 door will hopefully be hybrid of sheet metal and a modified front door so i can still use back as jump seats.

I will have them checked out at the machine shop for sure.

 

so last of the motor came in, now time to get this thing put together next week:

 

baby steps, little trunion upgrade over the weekend

 

This is going to be an awesome build. In for results, good luck with all this. Hell of a good looking tbss and damn good numbers before.

 

Damn that things gonna fly
