Here’s what you’re investigating:

I’m definitely in the ring gap camp. I’ve never had a supercharged B/RB, but it was common on late model fords I was running and hanging with. The extra heat butts the top ring and it destroys the ring land and piston top. Same with nitrous.
Theres a Total Seal chart in the article on this...
I bought a NOS MOPAR set of late 70s hydraulic lifters 6 months ago on eBay, paid $10 a lifter, but I know they’re good. You might find what you’re looking for there. Also might take a while.
While waiting on the pushrod solution (thank you supply chain woes), I mocked up the headers and intake. Headers were fine both sides, no interference on the heads, block, etc.
Though I haven't made a final intake selection, the M-1 sits nice on top. Made me wonder if I'll have interference...
Worked on the oil system while awaiting pushrods. Oil pump is a melling HV unit that says "USA" on it. Sat on the shelf for quite some time so cleaned it up and put some lube on the rotors, torqued it to spec. Also dicked around with the oil pick-up and re-pop Maxie pan. Had to tweek the oil...
It should all work. I’m not winding the motor to the moon. There was enough room to coil bind at max lift visually, I didn’t even bother sticking feeler gauges in to measure it.
The wider lobe sep was targeted at the 727TF crowd as it has less overlap, and should idle better. I went with...
Nope. Just took them apart, cleaned and checked. Straight out of the box. It’s just a street car...if I really wanted to go fast, I’d been better off with a 2dr post! I just wanna scare the Hondas. :rolleyes:
I think it’s on the edge CR wise, but with quench it may get away with it. I have a small block car with 11.2 and I mix octane boost for 20 years now, no problem.
But each engine is different.
Nothing comes out of the blister pack or box without a need of cleaning as a minimum, or tweaking in some manner. So when I dropped the heads on and mocked up the valve train, it was obvious the lifter/push rod/rocker set up wasn't going to be served by the 440 source 3/8" pushrods off the...
Thought I'd share a little progress from my 470 build.
It's going in my 65 Coronet wagon. I've been saving parts for the better part of a decade, and started moving getting the machine work done and getting it together a little over a year ago.
Block started as a virgin, never rebuilt, mid...
