Your engine is very...very similar to my 605. I am not sure what pushrod you are planning on, but with a 1.8 rocker and a 1/2" pushrod, you for sure need to elongate the pushrod holes. I see you have 1.75...and that may help...
You are going to be very happy with this combo. I shyed away from a 4.75 arm for perceived durability and low maintenance. In the last 4 seasons, the 605 has consumed 2 sets of valve springs (just replaced due to testing and inspection) and a worn out roller lifter. I kinda have a record keeping snafu...but it has about 453 runs on it. The crankcase vacuum is getting a little low. I am sure it is tired, but it runs fine and does not smoke or leak. I think that I will speed up the vacuum pump and let it run!
Take your time...double check everything....and you will be another happy 605 owner.
Congrats!

i have'nt got pushrods yet,realy should be thinking about it i guess.lol.i got the cam now so i'm gona be checking v/c and such so maybe i can get a figure on the pushrods too.i'm gona be happy with having a 4bolt block! the old dove block has sure been good to me in my little motor tho.i'll be giving you a call for a few parts soon maybe.

Lee ,you were pushing the limits of a 2 bolt block for sure. The oiling system is so much better on the aftermarket blocks too. You'll have peace of mind with the new block. It'll be very interesting to see what your new combo will run in your car? Good luck with it!!

I've got a project car that needs to be finished. '98 Mustang, 25.4 cert, 4 link, strut,etc., all Hairy Glass except for the roof and door jambs. Let me know if your interested, it needs a good home. From what I've seen of your work, you wouldn't have a problem finishing it.

first things first,lol,price? i dont want to ask for details if i cant afford it.lol pm if youd like.thanks

got a little more done today.these push rod holes are a PIA! maybe its a shaft rocker thing,it's fixed now.lol. what size should p/r's be? 7/16 or 1/2?

7/16" .165" wall will do a good job.

i'd do some v/c's but the rockers are so damn close to the top rail i'm sure i'll be make'n them.

not much progress,ran into some v/c issues so i'm on hold for now.may need to cut the heads to get compression up more.

Any regrets so far with going to that big of a chamber?

i cc'd them and got 95cc's with ti valves.i'm gona take .050 off the heads to get what i can but the chamber size is what it is.it'll still have well over 14.1 so all is well just not how it shoulda worked out to get it that way.

well...........i got the heads ready to go on! rocker stands welded,ready for some pushrods and head gaskets.THANKS to Lem for the cool ring compressor i dont know how i got by without one!

Need to smooth those edges out a little.

i had the heads cut .050 and still gota check v/c again.the point in between the valves,in the head chamber,is hitting the dome on the piston a little so........i got more than edges to smooth.

looks good...

i ended up with pac springs. anybody use them?

i use Nextek polished springs, but to be honest im of the beliefe a lot of springs are manufactured by the same company. i dont have any experience with pac springs personally, but a few of my friends have used them with good results.
