Thanks I appreciate it. I should be getting the heads back from the machine shop this week. I'll let you know as I may need shorter pushrods, as there has been a lot of changes from the factory setup. Like older style (1974) heads, the rocker spring seats have been machined (I believe .020) and...

Ok that makes sense. I'll have a look see.

Thank you, and yes I was referring to the pushrod where it dead ends to the rocker. I'm curious what the reasoning is for drilled pushrods if the motor still has oil galleys for rocker shaft oiling. That's why I thought there may be an oil pressure drop, with 16 new pathways for oil to leak . I...

Thanks. I've had the pushrod holes enlarged. Hopefully it'll be enough to provide clearance

More Information for MELLING MPR381 I need to buy new pushrods as I have lost the original ones from my 1990/91 360 I am putting a set of 1974 360 heads on it. The block has the oil galleys for the rocker shaft. But these push rods are drilled. I have a few thoughts running through the old...

I dropped mine off with block heads and crank and I'm at about 3,700 right now completely ridiculous. Line hone, oversize, deck, crank, and rods resized, new exhaust valve seats, heads milled, heads machine for new rocker springs and valve stem seals probably more than I've forgotten.

If the budget was unlimited, for sure. I'm already way over budget in the damn machining!

Yeah sounds like the heavy stock 4bbl will be my best option

It's going into my Ramcharger. 3.55 gears 30" tires. Will be used as a daily driver. So it'll rarely see 5000rpm

I'm building a 360 small block with 8.7 CR a 224 @ .050 duration with a 500 lift and magnum exhaust manifolds. I have two intakes a factory 4bbl (1974) or an edelbrock torker. I like the idea of the weight savings of the torker. But what say you guys/gals?

Funny thing I was on the ram website the other day building a 2500. One of the options was plastic wheel well liners. Im not sure if they covered the wheel wells or what but I believe the price was around $100 seems like a no brainer to me

Yeah my car will not going to be a perfect resto. I definitely think the plastic ones were a good idea. It'd be nice if they were available

I've always seen/heard them called splash shields.

The metal splash shields. Mine are in very rough condition. I won't be home till tomorrow so no pictures till then.

It just bolted right on? No fabricating or what not,? I can't see how a 69 valiant would be any different than a 68 Barracuda
