    Offy SB intake…. Any good??

    Run it, it's a good manifold , I ran one for a while before I switched to at Holley Strip Dominator . I got it from Ed Hamburger, I was running an Edelbrock Torqer ,He said " take that Torqer off and go out in the back yard and throw it as far as you can " ! I didn't throw it away ,but I did...

    Anyone running old school adjustable Rocker Arms on Eddy 60779 heads?

    Nothing wrong with those rockers, they are durable enough but the only thing I would add is their ratio is in the 1.45 range and it will cost you some lift. I run the Crane forged 1.6 iron rockers , a true 1.6 ratio and just as durable and affordable if you can find them now . Just FYI .

    Fel Pro 1213

    I use stainless steel shim .021 thick, picked up from metal shop cheap. Cut to fit allowing about .200 overlap and using contact cement like super glue to hold the plates in place , works great, I have to pry them off with a screw driver when I have to remove the plates . It works for me .

    273 adjustable rocker arms

    NM9 I do believe that is what I said. If you subtract .010 from advertised lobe lift and do your math (multiply by rocker ration then minus lash unless it is hyd. cam) this will give you "true" actual lift at the valve. Works with any cam in the small block Mopar . Try this.

    273 adjustable rocker arms

    I always check the rocker ratio on any engine I build. I keep a block close by for testing purposes only. The Mopar factory mechanical '273' rockers are very strong and durable, I find them in the 1.45 range. Best being 1.51 and worst 1.41 . Also with the pushrod and lifter not being 'in-plane'...

    I have used that Mopar small mechanical 653 cam. 284/528 worked GREAT and sounded good ! Easy on parts and good enough to send you deep into the 11's ask me how I know. I liked that cam wish I hadn't sold it. EXCELLENT street manors too.
