ok in my 94 what I had to do to get the TFS heads on was the following:


I used 1.7 rockers and needed new valve covers. I had ordered the TrickFlow tall covers and a half inch phenolic spacer. TrickFlow told me this would fit. It didn't. My EGR would hit on the back of the passenger side valve cover so I got some FMS chrome valve covers (which were a lot shorter) and cut the baffles out to fit the rockers. I then ran in to a problem with the alternator bumping against the front of the passenger side valve cover. I made a small bracket that spaced the alternator off by about 1/4" and the belt still fits fine. The problems here were the TFS fit the alternator because of the straight up and down of the valve cover. The FMS covers have a slanted front instead of the straight up and down and because of that it "pushes" the lip out a bit further than the TFS ones which is what caused the problem with the alternator. I'll snap some pictures tonight if I get a chance and post them so you can see what I did for the alternator.

Next, I still needed the phenolic spacer to fit the EGR, but because I was using a TFS Street Heat intake I was already running in to hood issues. Fortunately I had thought this one out ahead of time and already had a hood with a 2 1/2" cowl on it so spacing was no problem.


Other than that they were a dream to bolt on, didn't need to fly cut any pistons for it. Only problem was the valve covers in the extremely limited space that the 94/95's provide. As it stands right now I don't have an EGR hooked up and I capped the pipe coming off of the headers for it. I'm not really running in to problems with it, but I would like to have it there to smooth out some of my idle issues I have.

Good luck!
