Sounds interesting.
What will you be doing with the truck, a DDD ?
Why you ask... "The Twisted Wedge Heads... PORTED" ! Are these the Street Version ?
Porting heads for street use MAY reduce the effectiveness of the heads.
Just asking not judging or anything like that; I like to understand why things are happening the way they are.
My 5.0L, that hasn't made it in the Ranger... YET, GD SoCal, has the Street Version of the Twisted Wedge Head from Trick Flow, I am hoping for good results both In HP/Torque, and MPG !
This is should be a great thread !

p.s. Great looking truck, like the Steppie Bed.
Yes, 100% daily driver travel truck with ice cold ac. As far as porting the TW heads and all the other parts, it unlocks extra few ponies without adding more heat to an already crammed engine bay. More heat as in, if I add more compression to get more power, equals more heat These trucks are somewhat hard to cool with ac sitting in rush our traffic in the high 90's summer days.
I've had several foxbody's over the years, one had very heavily ported stock heads, intake, tb and mas air meter.Meyer.. I was beating trick flow top end cars.That was 30 years ago . So now just about everything I build unless I buy cnc ported stuff, gets ported. It's just a little secret that you know unless you tell.someone everything is ported. Good port work is worth about 30 hp of stock parts.
A typical stock bottome end 302 with the trick flow package does anywhere from 295-320 rear wheel hp . Which is PLENTY for these little trucks!! I've always had the tendency to over build things and create a hell on wheels daily driver.. there is a fine line that I will not cross again for a true daily.
EDIT: Heads are just the standard 170 cc heads. The ones in the black truck were the exact same ones and flowed almost as much as the 11r heads.. but looking at them, they looked like bone stock 170cc heads that everyone runs..😎
