The heads arrived yesterday afternoon. They were well packed and this is what they looked like coming out of the box.
Here is the combustion chamber:
Here is the intake side:
Here is the exhaust side:
Here are the Hughes hydrualic roller lifters for the LA block:
With a little luck this weekend, I may be able to get the camshaft degreed and start figuring out push rod lengths. It should be fun with a non-adjustable rocker and hydraulic lifters to figure out pushrod lengths and piston to valve clearance. I guess I need a solid roller lifter to get PTV clearance close. On Ferds you can take the roller lifters apart and flip the insides to create a solid. I don't even want to attempt that with the Hughes lifters. Has any converted a Magnum hydrailic roller lifter to solid? What is involved?
