My 360 Six Pack build!!!

Yellow Rose, my valve train issues with 273 OEM Rockers and Crane Ductile were that they didn't have enough clearence between the rocker and the springs, so the spring retainer were hitting the rocker, I wasn't able to even bolt them. Aftermarket aluminum rocker have recesed clearence there and they fit. I move to beehive spring just to get a wider option of rocker for my setup.

Other thing that is know and I missed is when using mechanical flat tappet cams extra pushrod hole clearence is needed, i checked that at Hughes Engine web. I have done this now.

Now for the Rocker geometry, I did check the rocker travel on the valve tip with the Proform rocker and they were almost at center (a little bit to the shaft side) and along the cam lift they moved out (@0,50) and back to its position from @0,50 to total lift. Don't remember how long was the pattern on the valve stem top, but sure it was short!!! What am I missing?

Seriously, I could type it all out, but you need to go to b3racingengines.com and read what he has written. Or call him. His name is Mike. He is a FABO member, but I haven't seen him post lately. I would say grab a pad and pencil because Mike will give you a TRUE education from him. I learn from him every time I talk to him. I'd bet every last thing I have your geometry isn't correct. Other than the pain in the *** way of machining the stands and using blocks, his system is the ONLY way I know of to correct geometry. The ONLY other way I know of than the blocks.

And I want to say this. I don't make a dime off of sending Mike work. I don't get a discount for sending him customers. Nor would I ask for or expect one. BUT I use his stuff and it works. And it's EASY. So when I find a SIMPLE, EASY, COST EFFECTIVE way to help MoPar guys I ride that stuff like a 2 dolla *****. I'm bummed I didn't think of it, but damn glad he posts his knowledge on places like this, or I would have never found him.

Take my advice and didn't look back. I'm not making a thin red cent on the deal. I just want to see you successful. So does Mike. So do all the guys who post on here. That's why it's done. Even if wedont always agree. Hell, I been doing this **** since I bought my first car in 1980 and motorcycles before that and TO THIS DAY, it's hard to find two engine builders who agree on more than a couple of things. That don't mean they are out to screw you. We are just different in our thought processes.

Now call the guy and get some help. PLEASE!
