[HWYSTR455]

I think I may have gotten a set that was on the edge of tolerances. The driver's side is slightly closer towards the trans, and the end is slightly tipped towards the trans as well. I had to dent on tube slightly to clear the engine crossmember too, think I posted that in this thread.

So with e-heads, 69 400 block, it's been slightly decked for @ .006 deck, and the heads have been touched up once.

With a Lunati VooDoo 713 HR cam, the Comp 857s required a 8.8125 pushrod, I rounded down to an 8.800.

The Morel lifters required a 8.5925 pushrod, and I rounded ever so slightly up to an 8.600 pushrod.

My pushrod measurement method is for valvetrain/rocker geometry, which in turn gives you the best pattern on the valve tip. Most people do it backwards, which IMO, is wrong.

This is the method I follow:

That one is from Straub Racing, but the method is the accepted method among all top engine builders and experts on the subject. If you went to a legitimate technical training school, this is basically what they teach you.
