GT350 heads vs 5.0 ported

[illtal]

Don't cancel, the gen3 are $30. lol.
I had ordered a gen3, predator and voodoo rocker arm to compare them over a year ago. The gen 3 cam with the adjuster.

I'm going to buy these predator ones since they are compatible with Gen 3.
Specifically what is different about the Voodoo follower that you can't use in crossplane? is it the size of them?

VooDoo to 5.0 rockers there is a roller difference along with cam base circle diameters.
Lifter placement is nearly spot on from 5.0 to 5.2.
5.0 rockers with 5.0 cams. VooDoo rockers with 5.0 cams = a horrible mess.

Yea this....

So apparently the predator is basically a higher strength Gen 3 rocker.

I’m unsure.

Here’s something I pulled up to refresh my memory.

I’m not sure what you’re looking to do.
I don’t see an issue with modded MMR 5.0 rockers to allow use of standard issued Coyote cams in VooDoo heads.
It’s a solid option and everything stays OEM Ford.

If you use 5.2 heads on a 5.0 motor you're going to have some shrouding that would probably negate any advantages over a ported set of 5.0 heads. A ported set of 5.0 heads with oversized valves flows comparable to the stock GT350 heads.

Ported 350 heads flow anywhere from 380-400 depending on how wild the profile/builder wants to get.

so are they the same ?

They are not the same as the factory gen 3, however they fit gen perfectly. I don't know exactly how. I will ask them to compare it to a gen 3 rocker before installation.

I couldn't tell you exactly how since I didn't get to hold any of them as they are soaking in oil when I went last week.
