Has aluminum intake but back to the lifter I will check pushrod travel with rocker off and go from there. With no load on lifter I should get accurate lift as compared to others. I should have done it yesterday but just assumed lobe. I thought about just bottoming out the plunger and rotate engine quick to ck for more lift but in reality I should have cked for lift at pushrod when I pulled roller rocker. If I had to bet on it I'd still say it's a lobe. But who knows. Will pull cover again today and ck.

Ya it would be nice if it had the original 327 for value. I don't want to get to deep into project or I will find myself rebuilding for him and don't even have the time for my own builds at the moment. Lol
