I have to hone the lifter bores and the cylinders and I'll wash the block off for the last time. I'm takin a break tonight and I'll get that done tomorrow and post another update. I should have a basic short block maybe tomorrow or Thursday.

Well, the lifters arrived today, and boy, you wasn't kidding when they were described as being a little skanky. I'm not sure there even gonna be usable, due to some pretty heavy pitting on the sides, and the face of several of them. I did clean one up and grind it so you fellers can get a idea what they look like after grinding.
Yeah. Grody. Well, Just let me know if you're gonna pronounce um dead. ....and what I owe you for lookin at um. You ain't in this for charity work. lol I thank you sir.
Got the cylinders and the lifter bores honed out. It's raining tonight, so I'll pressure wash the block and spray it down tomorrow and start the assembly.
Bein' that the Slanty has no pressurized oil gallery at the lifters, how much tappet to bore clearance would You be comfortable with, I never actually faced that situation in one to think about it.

Generally .0015-.0018 is good, but too much is just as bad as not enough
OK, I figured it would need to be snug, with only drainback oil it's probably more critical the more I think about it......

Drain back from up top, and splash from the rotating assembly provide plenty of oil. I've done a bunch of small blocks with bronze lifter bushings, solid roller deals, and I dont even put a oil hole in the bushing unless the customer requests it.
Believe it or not, Those won't fit. THey are between the BBD and Holley 500 bolt pattern. I have one too and it will not fit the intake, OR the adapter plate. Weird.
Cheap & Nasty is gettin a break today, because I'm not havin a good day. Hopefully back at it tomorrow.

How does yours measure uo to this?
Yeah that's the one. That's a bastard one only bolt pattern. Same as mine. It's in between the BBD and Holley 500 pattern. Really weird.
I did go down the road and get my intake from Freddie. Once again, Freddie fixed me up.

Are you insinuating that slotting the holes in the base plate at an angle will not work? I was thinking of how the blp and qft base plates that fit both 4150 and 4500 are. You could humor me with some measurements off of that intake LOL
