Waited for 2 month's or so.. But it was well worth the wait IMO.. let the fun begin...

 

Nice...who is gonna port them? Whta type of flow numbers to expect? Also, what is needed for this conversion (probably setup for reverse cooling, but what intake and such)?

 

Dennis at Airflow Development Will be doing them.. As far as the intake and stuff, it'll be a single plane efi setup, 4150tb and the rest is upto him..

 

Any particular valvertain needed or special pistons? This a 23 degree head right?

 

Offset rocker's and lifter's, and std 23 deg. piston's are good to go.. yea it's a 23 well actually a 22deg. head.. 1 deg ain't nothing to brag about though lol...

 

sounds like a good plan...next time make sure to leave the hairy legs outta the pics

 

Nice! Gotta like heads without pushrod pinch in them!

The valve spacing and rolled head might make a need for custom pistons or at least flycutting what you have.

Well to be honest i'm hoping we can get by w/ just flycutting.. According to them i should be fine w/ what i have... We'll see..

 

I believe they're actually rolled over 2 degrees. Most 23 degree classes will allow a 2 degree roll over, that's why AP builds them that way.

Very good choice IMO!

Only advice I'd offer is to stay away from stud mount rockers. I don't care if they work or not. By the time you buy the good rockers, girdles and everything else you need, you could have had a set of shafts. JMO, having been there... done that.... but never again.

Thanx... I'll be going w/ jesel's.. .. they're pricey though...

 

Jesel makes a good rocker setup and for stuff where I can get a valve cover with integral spring oilers, I've used them. I used them on my 383 with the MPD covers without an issue.

However, if you'd like to get away from plumbing oilers, then go with a T&D shaft setup with the optional spring oiler "holes" in the rocker. The circle track guys usually double their spring life with oilers and I'm a big proponent of them on any serious build. Cooler springs last longer and when cooler, they maintain more pressure as the revs get high.

Good luck Steve!

Plumbing a spring oiling sys. woudln't be that hard.. Would i just plumb from a oil supply source out of the block w/ a restrictor in line?

 

Pops has a set of Crower solid roller lifters that are offset to work with your engine. We can also get a good price on a set of these:

Which is what we have.


Let us know.

BTW NICE HARDWARE!!

The DRE stuff is nice as well... I do think the integral spring oilers are the way to go.

i was checkin' that out.. look's pretty nice.. never heard of them. . but nothing wrong w/ picking out the color of myown rocker's..
