Rhoads Lifters On Solid Lifter Cam - Setting Valve Lash
Wasn't this question for a Chevy straight six?
:) Hi, Oldiron440! Yes and No. Youngest son is helping me with last engine build(s). We are building 2 engines for my cars.
1 is a '78 360 Chrysler engine which is going into my '62 Dodge Lancer and the other is a '66 Chevy 292 inline 6 which I am swapping into my '57 Chevy.
Both cars will be geared similarly and I had Isky grind both cams the same except that they used MOPAR specific cam lobes on the 360 cam to take full advantage of the .904" lifters. Will run Rhoads V-Max lifters in both engines.
I generally do not ask Chevy questions on MOPAR websites same as I don't ask MOPAR questions on Chevy websites, as some folks tend to be highly partisan in their brand loyalties. And whilst I respect that, I have no problem swapping parts from one make of car into another.
My first car was a little '53 Henry J that I dropped a 276 DeSoto hemi into in 1963. Summer of '65, I swapped the DeSoto into a '55 Ford and drove that car my seniour year in high school. Have done more than a few such engine swaps over the years including a 413 Plymouth cop car engine into a '55 Chevy, a 400 Pontiac engine into a '56 Chevy and a '78 Toyota Celica engine into a '72 Triumph Spitfire sitting on a '68 Triumph GT6 chassis.
Best regards,
Harry
