That's gotta be pretty frustrating. I'd maybe try a thin telescoping magnet through the pushrod hole. Then raise the lifter up and into the bore straight down guiding it with your forceps as needed. If you don't have a thin enough telescoping magnet, maybe epoxy a small neodymium magnet to the...

Do you have any photos of that combo?

Sounds good to me! Let me know when you want to swing by.

Like new Tekton 1/2" drive torque wrench. 25-250 ft-lbs. Part number 24340. I've only used this one once but I'm getting rid of tools I have more than two of to prepare for a move. Located in West Sacramento - $30 plus shipping or local pick up. PM me for a shipping quote.

For my build, I was recommended something in the 260's @ .050 and around 0.650" lift, so similar to yours. I've got a Victor 383 intake and a few 4150 carbs to choose from (2 different 950's and an old school Holley 4781 850).

That's about what I'm looking at for my 470 build when I get to it. Minus the TR though. Can't wait to see the hotrod of yours make some passes.

That looks badass just sitting there. What were the cam specs again?

Those are the same ones I'll likely go with, only on a 6" wheel. Good looking combo. M&H Racemaster ROD02 M&H Racemaster Radial Drag Race Tires | Summit Racing

Birdsong's cutaway of those green bearings makes them seem pretty pathetic. I'd have expected to see more bearings in that space. I've never had an issue running them, but I'll sure give it some thought next time.

Is the top of the dash blue? If so, I think a blue dash pad and steering wheel would improve the look.

I don't think he has the nuts. :lol:

Do it!!! :poke:

That's a nifty idea! Does the fact that it ends up a tad shorter cause any issue?

What size blanks did you buy? 1/8" long?

No, not even close. When I measured for driveshafts on my 68 and 66 Darts, both only showed about 1/8" - 3/16" difference from full compression to full droop. Most driveshaft shops will have you insert the yoke all the way in until it stops, take a centerline measurement on front and rear...
