all the valvetrain parts would be nice. I think distance between us may be a problem. Roller lifters? Rocker ratio?

Thanks Mike! My heads should respond well to porting. I am sure you are right about the 4500rpm limit with unported heads. I will post flow data before and after porting, lets see what we can do.

Mike, You are correct about the 088 vs. 360. Almost anything is better than Peanut-Butter Heads.
Your expressed thoughts regarding advice are exactly as I was thinking I even went back and re-read post #1. It should be re written asking members for conformation of his plans.


Flow numbers and be darned, flow numbers never moved a boat post the dyno numbers.
This is where I say farewell and good-by to this thread.
