HotRod Mag 408 build w/TrickFlow heads NEW

A solid makes complete sense. If it were a hydraulic roller, no one would bat an eyelash at it. So using a solid is the exact same except it gets rid of the blasphemy of the hydraulic part. And I'd consider a .380 lobe (I'm assuming a 1.5 rocker) to be approaching the limit of a flat tappet for a reliable, long life engine. I agree, the intake a carb are shaky. But I also recognize that Mazzolini knows his stuff.
