LOL, If I had the aluminum heads that I was planning on running with 11 to 1, I could probably get away with it, BUT with the irons, I doubt it, I'll find out I do know I need shorter pushrods, geez, I have like 4 sets now
You may be able to get away with pump gas depending on your cam and how it is degreed. I would be interested to see the cylinder pressure if you did a compression test. You could degree the cam to lower the cylinder pressure a bit.
You can buy a simple and cheap suringe at your local Farm and Fleet store that is marked in both cc and ml increments, and a piece of plexiglass from Home Depot. Then use common household oil to CC the heads, which is what I did. It works, my heads were exactly as they were advertised.
You could always take a trip to Michael's and get some 110 it is only 9.00$ a gal. bought 10 gal Fri.
With my old combo and the 413 cam degreed 4 advanced I was measuring 175 to 180 lbs. This combo with the TA roller and a few degrees LESS duration, but more lift, Im curious too. Kinda comparing apples to oranges tho between flat and roller cam specs, as the valve action is totally different, which reminds me, I gotta check piston to valve clearance
Im sure I'll be visiting there quite a bit LOL What do you put it in, I can get A LOT of 5 gal thinner cans
I checked my pushrod length, I need shorter ones damnit Im at 9.00 now with TA's rods, I need 8.96 to get the adjuster where it needs to be on the TA rockers. I just bought the 9" from TA a bit ago too
That's funny Mark, my push rods are 8.950" in my 470. I'm using the Johnson roller lifters and there is .040 off my heads, with a zero deck block. I have a set of 8.900 push rods I'm not using.
I ended up buying Trick flow 8.950 pushrods from Summit this morning. I have like 4 sets of pushrods in stock now LOL
I have 2 sets. When I swapped in my Johnson lifters, I needed longer push rods because the Johnson lifter cup was .230" deeper. Went to look at my build thread for the block #1, push rod length was listed there as 8.675, so 8.675 + .230 = 8.905, so I ordered 8.900. Didn't realize that the push rods for block #2 were actually 8.725. Put it all together and the adjusters were not flush. Had to order the 8.950s.. So now I have 8.900 and 8.725.
Hang onto those for a while Larry. Between you and Mark I might need one of those length pushrods. I am switching to solids which are about 1/4" shorter than hydraulics.
