My 422 smallblock build

He didn’t block anything, ran good oil pressure, no issues. Same thing on the next engine, a 360. He had a 340 in it for around 10 years. Raced it at least twice a week.
The weird part was the 340 would out 60’ foot and mph the 360 with a best 1/8 time of 6:13 and the 360 ran a 6:11 best, same heads and cam. 2600 pound Demon
I do have oil going to mine, and didn’t block anything. Though I checked oil pressure as I rolled the engine over, and no losses.
The next engine I’m putting together, will be blocked off, and rely on splash oiling. The x block I bought recently.
I’ll see how these lifters hold up. You guys have relayed some complaints about these lifters, or the other models Comp offers?
You should will be OK with the solid rollers from Comp.
Just stay away from the hydraulic rollers, never again for me.
