Well didn't get the replacement lifter pair in yet looks like Comp dropped the ball.....

Not sure its stuck, seems to me to be rotated? I don't know it it would be worth the risk especially since there is a pretty good sized ding on the outside ring of the plunger cup.

you know the good thing about problems is you learn from each one. I will definitely be planning for solids for any future build or if I have more problems with these. I kinda blew the rest of my budget on forged crank/rods and the lightweight flywheel/twin disc clutch. I do wonder if maybe when...

Wow I need to do some research on solids, i allways thought they were something you don't drive on the street and had constant lash problems.

How much trouble are solid lifters? Probably won't be putting much more than couple thousand miles per year on it.

yes it was just the loose pushrod making the noise, all the pieces were still in the lifter thank goodness. We saw no evidence of any damage to cam, rocker or pushrod. I did not, and I'm not sure if my engine builder did either, he did mention he made sure they were clean and lubricated before...

Yeah thats kinda what I thought just wasn't sure if it was ok to use a different set on just that cylinder? Also would like to be able to drop them in without removing the heads. Comp retro fit 8920 lifters Thats what my builder said as well but I had a set already so i used them. So as I...

Do you know off the top of your head if they will fit with the heads still on? Eddy RPMs

Fired the engine up after a rebuild, started first try but soon happy turned to sad as a metal to metal tapping started. pulled the valve cover off and saw #7 intakes push rod was loose. Took manifold off and discovered my new Comp Cam roller lifter didn't look so hot..... and now they are...

yeah I should have done exactly that. I put studs in each of the mounting holes on the bellhousing in order to ensure proper alignment. With this clutch assembly there are two discs and that crappy plastic line up tool doesn't really cut it. Maybe one was in a bind and that caused the lock up I...

yeah it's not binding anymore. I did not dial-indicate the bell housing, it is a quicktime bellhousing that I have used with this transmission in the past, I probably should have tho.

Yeah this post.... spoiler it's fixed now, another spoiler I have really no true understanding why the motor locked up. There may be a lesson in here somewhere... I just got my engine back from the builder and started the install: Got the engine in place and moved to: inspection cover...

Done deal 1.6 intake and 1.5 exhaust it is! Thank you all for your input! After I get it broke in I'll post some dyno content on and off NOS.

Yeah, kinda seems like it will probably just shift the cam operating RPM range to the right. I would be very happy with anything in 430-450 range. I'm putting in a light weight flywheel from Brewers and a McLeod twin disc. I'm planning on spinning it 6500rpm maybe a little more if cam and heads...

Guess what I was trying to do was compare the same cam with or without 1.6 rockers, I thought maybe the 1.6 rockers might give me more midrange on that same cam vs 1.5? Those were my thoughts as well engines are engines should work similarly. Got chevy valves in the heads shhh.... lol. I am def...

Thank you for your reply! I had thought I should see a better midrange? The added duration might affect low speed drivablility but perhaps increase top end HP? I could not make up my mind about the cam and finally got this one because it closely matched the specs of a Hughes engines flat tappet...

Thank you for your reply! Sorry yeah I did say emphasis on strip use and I thought my avatar gave vehicle away lol, but for sure as you said: that was my worry is over camming my heads. Maybe the 2.02 valves prove to be the choke point. Here are some more specifics 1967 Barracuda approx. 3060...

My engine builder says I have the clearance, and I have a set of 1.6 roller rockers laying around. So is there any downside in going with 1.6 ratio with my combination? Car is street/strip with emphasis towards strip. Also if you have any predictions on this combo love to hear them! 360 La...

Stocker Star shocks no gas. But have 18 levels of dampening.

So my old K member is worn out as are my UCA's and LCA's so I shelled out some Benjiman's and pulled the trigger on a QA1 level 2 suspension kit with front and rear shocks, on my 67 Cuda. I still need to have a professional alignment but just getting it "close" myself yielded some awesome...

Awesome! Thank you!

Is that NGK plug a good pick for my setup? The 9 is pretty cold compared to OE 14?

No you are right (I am a 4 speed as well) the rpm drop is not going to be down to 3k, I meant on the initial hit I thought coming in sooner would be better but in the overall scheme of things your only gonna lose that 800 rpm once. I think you are right the Y is not technically the least...

here is a clip of the first hit

I tried the the setup I had, did 3 hits. One in 2nd gear and two in 3rd, seemed to do pretty good. Broke traction in second tho gonna need more tire. Yeah I was a little worried with about the 93 octane, I wound up putting a can of that race gas octane booster in and it seemed to do good. I...

Hey guys been reading up on Nitrous applications on the forum and internet, I believe I have got a good setup and was hoping some of you more experienced guys could give me a peer check and make sure I'm not missing something. I'm wondering if it would be "safe" to run a 150 shot on 93 octane...

Coming along! Now that the drive train is sorted out I can start work on the appearance a little.

thanks! I was looking at Brewers and it says i need a 40 tooth gear, with my tire and rear gear ratio. I just didnt know whether or not the whole pinion carrier will interchange between housings

So finally got my A833 in from Passon everything looks good and it was crated nicely. Only problem is there is no speedometer pinion included.... Does anybody know if the OD A833 speedometer pinion is interchangeable with a non OD A833? I do have one of those.

Thanks for all the input, I went with the 2.66 hopefully with my 3.91's it will be a good combo!
