Got some experience yesterday measuring for push rod length. I already had a set of new, Morel lifters and the seat height was around .900 higher than a standard lifter. It was very educational seeing how slight changes in push rod length will change the travel pattern and distance across the valve tip.
After they come in, all that will remain will be installing the timing cover and oil pan, cleaning up and installing the tunnel ram and then it's dyno time.

Picked this up yesterday. The guy was very fair on the price.
Now that I got the Camaro out the door, I can get back on this thing.

I'm still around. Have been really under the weather for a while and not done much to the car. That and my son playing baseball has cut into car time. Did get the fuel lines made over the weekend.

Engine is together, valves adjusted, etc.
Found a couple of sets of AC 44XLS, green striped plugs.
