Nice to see some experimentation. I wouldn’t hesitate to convert the stock hydraulic roller lifters to solids, but I don’t know what I don’t know.

Is that a triple bolt pattern rotor? What size and ballpark price for the kit?

The number of holes = 15 which is 15/5=3 so yes triple pattern. 12.19" diameter and can't share the price as it was a wholesale closeout for dealers only--but it was WAY under a grand CDN $$$. J.Rob
I got a Pirate Jack rear disc kit for $450, 8 3/4
Complete with e brake cables, however it's impossible to talk to a person there

So, I know I'm slow but there has been some progress in the parts procurement department. It's nice to have tangible parts come in. Believe it or not these are the first SBM Speedmasters I've seen. Looking forward to flowtesting and sharing info here. J.Rob
p.s. Interesting disclaimer in the box.

Here's where its starting to get serious and is a total divergence from the original plan. What you see here is the Ferrea 2.02/1.60 hollow stem valves, T&D 1.7/1.8 steel rockers with no adjuster, and Jesel .904 DLC coated "Dogbone" solid roller lifters with .820" wheel. J.Rob

I will have to machine some custom "dogbones" because as you can see "Houston, We have a problem" .
I was all excited too because I thought maybe this part would be easy. The oil band is in the right location, they're super light, they feel absolutely silky in the lifter bores and all I had to do was machine the OEM dogbone flats .015" per side--Easy peezy.... Nope. Can you guys spot the problem? It actually took me quite awhile before I realized it. J.Rob

Flats are 90 degrees out

That sucks.
Don't think I would have caught it if I hadn't been trying to figure out why you had one roller rotated 90 to the other in your pic. Pretty subtle but huge difference.
Can't imagine the carnage if that hadn't been caught.
Does Jesel have a dogbone they expect to be used with these?

What kind of a disclaimer is that? We did the work, but won't stand behind it? Does that even make any sense?
Do they have a CNC option that doesn't weaken the valve seat?

I'm open to suggestions. J.Rob
AMAZING, just simply OUTSTANDING!!!
If not INCREDIBLE!!!!
I hope someone if not a gaggle of them shove their heads up the next guys *** and breathe deeply. Someone should be fired.
Do you have a picture of that set up installed?

It’s not a mistake, it’s how those lifters and hold downs are designed. The stock magnum dog bones and spider are lift limited and that’s how the aftermarket gets around it. I do not have an installed pic sorry.

I think you misunderstand Rumble--these lifters are designed for a Chevy. J.Rob
I was just wondering since I haven’t seen that part before.
Thanks bud.
I did. Thanks.
Gen 7 BBC. 90 degree different than the SBC and is it a .903 diameter? Did they get that right?

No not abandoned just these popped up for an unbelieveable price. J.Rob
Unless you have a bushed Dart BIG M , which can be .903.

Very true, but you didn’t say that. You said gen 7 bbc.
