Is that T&D or Jesel ? Having had 1 problem with my set up
but time to up grade.That looks easier to run through the valves compare to the stud girdles.

Paint job looks great,even after a six pack!
I do my best work with a buzz.

There TD. The reason there different color is I
sent them back to TD to have them rebuilt and they
sent back silver ones.

Shaft rockers are the best. Jessel or TD you cant loose!
The pushrods are over 11 inches long.
Thats actualy a drawback when using Big Chiefs.
Side Loading bigtime on the lifters.

Wow big chiefs, I thought you guys with big blower motors ran diff heads. We ran those in our open boat, nothing but trouble, but we turned them 9k.

If you could get ahold of some sterling stuff, he moves the lifters so they are straight, major block work.

9000...... Yes!

My cam is on the small side. My intensions were to go
45 hours on the valve train.
6700 is where my rev limiters are set.
23 hours on the motors last season.
Just tore them down and they looked good.
If ya want to make real power ya gotta run the chiefs.
CFE is the real ticket. ( Carl Foltz)

I would love to tear down a sterling.
Curtis you must have had some serious bottom ends.

We were runnning 13.5:1 compression, love the smell of race gas. They produced about 950hp, on 500 ci.

Used the splayed capped blocks, after we went to those we had no problem with the lowers. Before that we cracked cranks almost every race.

These motors had to be rebuilt after every race, it was a pain.
crash box, with efi. They sounded bad ass.
