of course I still haven't seen OMR or M1 yet either... youz
And you won't from me out of protest for the constant pushing for Rani to post one.
It was never something that was required.
I've posted this several times but it keeps getting ignored.

Oh great, my 11 year-old daughter just spiked a 102° fever and started decorating the walls and carpets in barf on the way to the bathroom.
I'm out...
I read elsewhere on the forum that RRR recommended Rhoades lifters a while back. I checked them out and they seem truly ingenious. I've seen your recommendation before, too.
I think I have the same cam as ScampMike has. It's a PurpleShaft. I have an LD4B and a 750 Carter AFB. I bought an old Holley 600 from BadSport in july. I've refurbished it and was planning on trying them both out to see which works best.
If I'm not planning on running the engine over 4,500 rpm much, I guess porting and bigger valves would be a wast of time, no?
The whole cam duration, LSA and ICL voo-doo, do I need to go there or should I just cc up my head and piston combo, post the data in my build thread and take the advice I get?
I just wish I could see it in better resolution.
Finally! Dammed car is a thorn in my side.![]()
as long as we're not waiting on a face lift....

CC it up and post your info. We can help you get where you want to go.
What size purpleshaft cam? lift? Duration?
The LD4B is a great intake. don't let it go, use it...
Porting will help. My head guy likes to do what he calls the "quick port" which is 90 - 90 % of the gain, polishing is the last bit, and not necessary on a street engine. Porting will help, but try to open up the restrictions, and just match the area to the gasket for the ports, and open the bowls up. You can run up to 2.02" intakes. if you have 1.88" intakes with fresh valve job, don't sweat it, you can always open them up on the next valve job and get a nice seat with a fresh cut...
Heading to the cleveland auto show here! Easy day for once!
First in or just late?
