Lol... Just curious, exactly what question did I ask that was un-crew chief like? The only question I asked was about adding 1.6 rockers to a stock cam/heads. On paper, the lift gain would be similar to a "Mild" cam swap without having to pull the front of the motor off. I stated I have no experience with the 273 motor, and was hoping to gain insight from folks who had hands-on experience with the 273.
I got the information I was looking for, plus a lot of speculation of what I "should" do. I never asked what I should do, only asked if anyone had tried the 1.6 rockers. Using the knowledge of members on this board, I did not have to do trial and error to find the pushrod clearance on that motor (which i am unfamiliar with) could be a minor issue with the increased rocker ratio.
My full time salaried position is Crew Chief for Laris Motorsports Insurance Racing. I never said I was an engine builder.
Our Laris Motorsports Insurance Racing team entered 5 NHRA National events in 2023. We had a car in the FINAL at all 5 of these races. So I would think my abilities to work as a crew chief speak for themselves. The race team has 1 employee. My drivers are in the shop only a few times per year, and fly to the races.
A fresh motor as shipped to the shop vs a motor after I have it ready to run.
