Have you heard of Trickflow Streetheat heads? I have a friend who is thinking about buying them for his 5.0. A guy in Ohio wants to sell the pair for $500. Please, tell me what you think. Thanks in advance.

For a 5.0? Is that a 302 chevy or 302 *ord? Most of the *ord guys around hear swear by the TrickFlow Twisted Wedge heads. my 2 cents.

Early TFs had a rep for breaking springs and wearing guides. After those are replaced, they are good performers.
Gen 2 TFs are reportedly much better.
