[Tigers] Now what do I do?

[Gyroplanes at aol.com]

I bought the 60229 heads for use with the stock pistons. I really, really
want to use my NOS Tiger valve covers. We will cross that bridge when I come
to  it.

Lets  see...on your performer rpm cylinder heads. I have a set as well that
I bought  for my Tiger. They are pedestal mount. If you bought the 60259
with the 2.02  valves, they DO NOT fit a stock 302 flat top piston without
custom valve  relief on my motor and I run the E-cam...(all of this is on fox
body mustangs  that I have now and in the past). Granted that E-cam has .498"
total lift, so  itbs a bit more aggressive than your b-cam consideration.
But edelbrock  actually states on their website that those heads donbt fit.
(
3rd bullet  point at top of page They also will not clear the shallow style
Tiger valve  covers with pedestal or stud mount rockers, at least not
without major  modification, which I havent tried yet. I know you could
install a
spacer and  gain valve train clearance but of course you run into the
firewall  then.
