Trick Flow 440 heads, The Real Deal?

Where's the exhaust port on these things - are they raised requiring a funky set of headers? Not sure I saw that in any of the docs. Are they heli-coiled where it counts, like the rocker shaft hold down bosses and exhaust manifold flange? Custom valve covers needed (taller) or are the valve cover bosses moved up like the rocker stands? ?

The exhaust port is in the stock location.

I see no heli-coils. AND I don't thnk they are needed. This is a very strong, well built head.

Yes the valve cover rail is raised, you will have about 1/16" more clearance height wise verses the RPM head.

This is a completely new head casting and is not a copy of anything I have seen.
