will do thank you

ill have to check that out thank you. i also have the how to build a small block mopar book. pretty handy

ive done lot of research. and purchased books. and watched videos. hours and hours and hours of research and questioning. to be fair ive never put an engine together before. and without actually doing it these are not questions id ask and be able to look for. since most of it is the little...

im unsure to be honest. this is the quote i was refering to. "nice, if you are going to use the factory spider/roller setup you can't go over like .545 (1.5ratio) (i'm told) just fyi" i took that to mean that if your using the spider hold down you cant go over 1.5. and as the only time ive...

well thats awsome to hear. so you have 1.6 rocker ratio and use the spider hold down? i wanted to use it because it seems useful.

awesome. im thinking about getting oil through pushrods as well. i figure it cant really hurt to have even though it oils through the shaft. any thoughts on that?

awesome that's already done.

yes i have this piece in my parts pile that came with the engine when i first got it. the old lifters came with it to and the dog bone connector is a circle that the lifter rides in connected to a straight piece connected to another circle the other lifter rides in. those lifters sit loose in...

ooooooh. so it dosent matter about top dead center or anything. just that the cam lobe is at its lowest point when starting to make sure its long enough all the way through the lobes stroke?

Are you referring to this. That bar that connects the two lifters? This is how it came out of packaging from the kit. The lifters and cam came as a kit together. Posting below to see if that helps. https://www.jegs.com/i/Howards-Cams/466/CL718005-09/10002/-1

can you elaborate? im not in front of the heads right now and in the pictures im not seeing anything out of place. but again im a novice and could be overlooking things. which is why i post here asking for tips tricks and advice.

Speed master got them from jegs for a pretty decent deal. i want to say they were 1200 or 1300 for the set.

i have a book on rebuilding a small block Mopar but there's nothing in it on measuring pushrod length. it is really based off of rebuilding an existing engine not adding different parts. Any recommendations on good literature would be appreciated. @RemCharger @68-500

https://www.jegs.com/i/PRW/228/3231812/10002/-1 These are the rockers i bought. so I'm assuming they're very similar to the ones you have. I have seen a few mentions of being on base circle. Im unsure of what that means though.

So actually I have found the issue. It seems I had pushed the cam too far back into the block. So now I have it aligned. Waiting for the cup washer to arrive so I can keep it aligned and againsed the thrust plate.

i haven't been able to find a detailed explanation yet on how to measure. Is there a specific set of steps involved? my idea was to set the measuring tool in there. expand it until there was 0 lash. and then rotate the engine to make sure it went through the full range of motion without looking...

https://www.jegs.com/i/COMP-Cams/249/241/10002/-1 So I just ordered this. It is an la block with factory roller cam. The cam is for an la. It didn't come with the little half moon key or woodruff key. Whatever you call it. Or a bolt or eccentric. Or any cup washer. So that kit should be exactly...

I have been using one. It's helpful. But they go into rebuilding like factory settings. Jot customization so I differ slightly.

THANK YOU. so much. Both @RemCharger and @icetech . You guys are lifesavers. I appreciate the answers. And sorry if I'm a little repetitive with the dumb questions. Hahah. It's my first engine build. So there's a bit of a learning curve.
