470 assembly started

Im seriously considering tool steel lifters. They never wear out. Can be used over and over again. They only make them in a solid configuration

 

Same here,..hell if a regular set are $200 you're only paying 400 extra,..thats negligible imo

What is the stock Buick lifter seat height?

 

Nothing available in the Buick cup height so pushrods will be required

 

Buick seat height 2.05”
Chevy 1.88
What are the tool steel ones? They look deep

My suggestion is deal with Mike Jones,..he has forgotten more than any individual on camshaft/valve train,...when he gives his opinion,...ALL the gurus listen,.. nobody questions him,..best thing is,..HE ANSWERS THE PHONE,...RETURNS EMAILS PROMPTLY,...AND WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU HAVE,...same with Bullet

 

1.88 cup height

 

New bullet cam installed and degreed. Final assembly tomorrow and dyno Monday.

 

My 72 has a Scott Brown cam was happy with and my 70 GSX engine has a Bullet cam.

 

Rebuilt for round 2. **bell rings.**

 

Good luck....

 

Solid numbers, set that bad boy to shift at 5k and hang on to your hat. Glad everything held up for you.
