1990 GT Cylinder Head Selection?

My bad should have mentioned I'm running the dual comp cam springs that came with my cam kit they should work on the trick flow heads right especially if I go down to 1.6 roller rockers?

Yes

So after a little bargaining I got the trick flow 170s with upgraded valve springs for the same price as the AFR165s I was lookn at($950 shipped) Should have them by the end of next week. I just received my 24#s in the mail yesterday I paid $45 plus shipping for them and they came with orings and pintle caps that look brand new. Hopefully will be tearing into her next weekend

first you need to find out what size stud you have, 3/8" or 7/16". Trick flow, Harland Sharp, Ford Racing, Comp Cams, Crane, Scoripion are all good roller rockers. You are also going to need hardened pushrods a different length for the Trick Flow heads. The instructions that come with the Twisted Wedge heads has an excellent couple of paragraphs on how to properly measure pushrod length. You may be able to download it off of their website. I also think you made a good choice.

Well done sir. I have the TF rockers and they still work. The one's on my old heads were comps or something if I remember right, they worked too. I can speak for no other.

I have Comp Ultra Golds on my TWs

Here's how to check pushrod length.

COMP Cams® - Sorry...

I saw a pair of trick flow 1.6 rockers on another classified for $200 shipped and I like the idea of staying with the same brand when piecing parts together I just wanted to make sure there rockers were GTG. I'll be sure to take pictures and document the swap
