I've been building a motor in my garage between work/school and trying to play paintball. I still have to re-adjust the valves, 7.192" pushrods for a normal roller motor are too short, but I had them anyway so I figured I'd use them to check rocker/valve geometry - it's off center, but not too bad, can't find my dumb adjustable pushrod length checker.
350 .030" over - 355"
cast crank turned .010"/.010" -rotating assembly balanced within +/- 3g
scat 4340 forged 6" i-beam rods
speed pro hypereutectic flattop pistons
pro topline vortec heads, stage 2 port, 3/8 screw in studs/guideplates, 120lb springs set up for .540" lift - 10.25:1 CR
comp cams xtreme roller 264HR - 212/218@.050" .487/.493 lift 110lsa
comp cam magnum roller tip 1.6:1 ratio rockers
total $$$ spent so far = more than the cost of two new nexus ego's
engine build is almost done!

) - so I sold the heads to the machine shop, guess they were going to try to weld one of the cracks at the exhaust seat on the 2 inner chambers. I got the bare block back, and built it from there as parts I ordered came in. I have a edelbrock performer rpm intake hanging on the wall, haven't decided what induction to run since I don't know if I'm going carb or fi. the choice of the hypers is pretty self explanatory - cheap - light -can use tighter tolerances, and in my application they are pretty much indestructible (knock on wood). I always liked federal mogul, I would have preferred KB. I also have a XE294HR sitting in the garage to, but that will never make it into this motor, unless I pick up another set of heads.
