My engine builder gave me an email today with some progress pics. It's exciting to see but makes me realize I need to get my butt in gear with my engine bay!
I got a nice engine update today.

Nice!
Also wondering what a good carb choice would be. This is a 40 over 440 509 comp cam, 2.14 valves roller rockers, supposed to be 10:1 compression. Edelbrock or holley?

Whichever your comfortable tuning. If Eddie go AVS. If Holley buy a Quick Fuel, I also hear the Proform carbs are decent.
Put layer of wax on the air cleaner if its chrome or rust will start.

I'm ditching the valve covers and air cleaner for this stuff. I was thinking avs 750. These are iron heads. I don't remember the casting number.
Ok, now you are just showing off ;)
Good luck on your build.
What kyoob motor? 440?
The air cleaner lid looks slightly familiar lol ...
Glad to hear you nixed those fabbed valve covers. Every set that's showed up here had light showing through the welds.

750 will work but leave some on the table, I agree with the previous posters 850 would be the way to go.
Saaaay what? Yes 440.
Call it extra crankcase ventilation. ;)
U have offset rockers. They won’t work on a stock head. U need the rockers that don’t have any offset. Like this. Kim
What are they designed for? I'll have to ask them I didn't order the parts.

it could just be the way they look in the picture but, I agree they do look like offset rockers ( max wedge style, indy ect )
They look offset to me. Are they just used due to larger valves being installed?
Those look offset as well Kim?
No they are not Steve. Look closer. Kim
Sorry, I don't see the difference.
Steve, Look at the 2nd rocker from the end. The little notch on the end rockers is to clear the valve cover. Kim

they are used to move the pushrod over to clear the larger max wedge style ports.
I'll have to check what heads those are then.
Says the heads are 346 but also has a set of 452 he could use. He says he has used the offset rockers with no problem in the past. Uses 3/8 pushrods and the crank and rods are balanced.
