Just an FYI, the rocker arms are on the shafts wrong. The lefts and rights are reversed.

lol Thank you, I actually hadnt noticed that. I had just cleaned em up and stuck em on there left and rights together... funny that they are the same numbers stamped on each of them left and right though.

This is just a FYI only....... but since you have had all the rockers and shafts disassembled, please consider this. The rocker shafts have the oil feed holes
offset drilled from the main mounting holes, and these oil feed holes NEED to be facing toward the valve (springs) or to the bottom of the head. Otherwise, they (the oil feed holes) will be facing up towards the intake manifold, and NO OIL WILL FEED THE ROCKER ARMS! I hope this helps you get the assemblies back together properly. Good luck!

Actually not true, 383,400 b-engine has different valley pan hold downs than a 413,440 and 426 rb engine....

And don't forget the pushrods are different as well.

Yes absolutely, same goes for small block shafts as well. It's just one of those details that is so important yet not often thought about. Thank you for posting that tidbit for sure :thumbup:
