Lifters

Back in the seventies my brother bought me back a 340 and a heap of parts for my engine. Some of the parts were off a guys 383 2 barrel drag car that ran in stock class and ran ten sec qtrs. I used a set of hyd lifters that came out of that motor and that 340 of mine would easily rev to 7500 with the hyd 292 ,510 purple shaft cam in it. I could see that the oil hole on the side of the lifter had been brazed up and a new one drilled in a different location.We had the heads and inlet manifold also for that 383 and found that it had a lot of different machining work as they would not fit properly on a std block.
