70 dart 470 ci drag car build.
Today and tonight about 6 hours work, 2 of it spent looking for **** lol
I got my heads assembled last week and since I forgot my head gaskets Tuesday I got over to rats house with them today and installed them.
Buttered up the camshaft (Hughes 264-268) and installed the lifters. Like a dummy wanted to check something, flipped the engine over 1/2 way and out came 3 lifters & the cam already had a few break in cycles I believe. But I do have some good luck.
Anyways I put the pushrods and rockers on, to
my surprise the pushrods were still good for length after milling .080 off of the heads.
I did a blend from the Hughes valley pan intake port opening and took out quite a bit, not max wedge but 3/16 at pushrod pinch and about .200 of higher roof blended into the CNC finish 4 inches in.
