John Holmes push rods.............

I thought they were Lem Evans push rods? Who the heck is this John Holmes guy that has better pushrods than Lem?

bigger or better?

I don't get it, whats the point that he had to clearance the pushrods? I just noticed that he didn't mention anything about about the rockers through the thread and thought I would throw it in. Probably wouldn't have had that problem if he had bought some A++, hero, Crower, Stainless Steel, rockers or shaft mounted!

If I had used the std 3/8 stuff it would have bolted together without the need for the "custom" work. I plowed this ground and gave Lem some feedback so the next guy can more or less just put it together......... But the heads still need clearanced and you need to fab guideplates............ or simply get a builder that will look at all the stuff that needs looked at.

I'll order the next set with a 3/4" tip rather than the 1/2" tip.....that will resolve this minor issue.

I know that,, I am talking about the remarks toward "custom". Is there a thread somewhere that calls for this low intellect?

ps. re-read my last post and read it like I am being an Ass, not as an idot.

Why buy a set of shaft rockers which I do not need when a slight touch from a sand roll will resolve the issue?

I don't guess I understand what your asking.........not every single detail of this build is up for the world to see.

Cool build!

I wasn't asking anything other than my the last post. Just stating a fact that you had to clearance the rockers for the pushrods. I guess everyone assumed I meant to ask a question as to why and I just couldn't type. That would explain what brought on all the post about "custom".

will shaft rockers allow lower valve covers, essentially giving more room in the engine compartment (fox body) for lets say an a460 headed deal, allowing more room for the brake master cylinder, and plug access...?

Yes they will, because you won't be using the tall ARP rocker studs and the Jomar stud girdle.

Uncle Charlie

thanks...

This chicken shit Jomar deal won top dragster at Commerce GA. this year.

Good Looking Engine. LOL. Love the guys at Jomar. Great sponsor of the Bash also.

Is that all it won? j/k, how you doing Flip?

" and plug access...?'
........................................
The valve covers are not close to the spark plugs .

every little bit of knowledge helps... and as far as that goes the master cylinder can be relocated as well....thanks

Give me a call when you get the numbers togather..

Will do.........
Are you sure you want to go this way? Shaft rockers a good for .350 ET is what I hear.

I'd buy a Danny Bee or a good oil pan before I bought shaft rockers...........
