- Roger, I believe that the 260 and 289 heads are very close together, although the later ones had a larger exhaust valve. The REAL question you should be asking is whether the even larger exhaust valv

- The Edelbrock performer heads with the 2.02 valves fits find in the Tiger with no external modification. Cooling did seem to improve and you do have 50lb., less in the front end. I would recommend t
