Yeah, sure. Why not? Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I saw those, but we're a bit different in application. Nice filters, though. Customer is gonna try to hide as much of the modifications as possible under the Shaker scoop.

Thanks JD. The Chevy filter is actually 13/16-16 thread, and the block is 3/4-16. The 3/4-16 filters do not have a large enough gasket diameter to fit the Ritter block, hence the need to adapt for the Chevy filter which is has a considerably larger gasket od. I took a trip to a semi-local...

I posted this question on Moparts also, hoping to find an answer. Does anyone know where I can get the filter nipple adapter to use a standard Chevrolet filter? Supposedly, they are out there but I haven't been able to find it, and Kent doesn't know where to get them either. A remote filter is...

Kim, rockers are the same expense regardless of the heads used so you can't count that as part of the price, unless it would have needed an offset rocker, such as a W2 or Indy -1. My point was that the money that was spent trying to bring the Speedmaster heads up to near the Trick Flow levels...

He didn't say any of that, but the answer to your last two questions is a resounding "YES"! Read his last paragraph again. The increased cost had nothing to do with rocker clearance. Also, it's 2024 and the Trick Flow 190 heads still do not cost anywhere near $3000 dollars in the US. If you are...

You didn't get dissed, Mike. You don't know if clearance will be an issue until you know the shaft is at the right place. Then you can rightfully determine whether the beehive springs need to be used. I call that being informed. There was no disrespect given, at least not from me. Yes it can...

That is incorrect, Rob. The Harland Sharp rockers need more correction than most, even on the TF heads. Throw a set of T&D 8130 rockers on a TF head, and run .700" net lift, and you won't need any correction. Outside of that scenario, it will need adjustment, just not as extreme as other...

If budget is a concern, just use the stock rockers and measure for the correct length pushrods. The rollers are a great upgrade, but they have to be set up right, which means relocating the shafts. That adds to the cost and makes the rollers less budget friendly, especially when you could make...

Yes, I am. And I'm at Carlisle every year too.

Just north of Hershey. I can't do an estimate/quote without knowing what I have to work with. That comes with tear down and inspection.

Sorry Mike. I think you misunderstood. I have cores in the event that some of his parts are beyond repair. He asked about an engine builder and I, as a builder, was just pointing out that I have those parts if needed during the build. I'm not trying to sell him parts.

I generally encourage leaving the engine assembled for delivery. During teardown I can determine the health of the engine and recognize any issues as currently assembled. The engine will tell a story of its life during disassembly if one knows what to look for. It also reduces the risk of lost...

I'm in PA and have some 273 cores in case additional parts are needed.
