Rhoads lifters Houston area

[gixxer711]

Anyone in the area running Rhoads lifters? I would like to hear for myself what the "noise" is all about before I pull the trigger on a cam and lifters.

No, I am not running rhodes lifters but I have found videos on youtube and you can listen to the noise they make. My search was "rhodes lifters and pontiac". bt

I posted it here to find someone in the area so I can listen to their car in person. I am probably gonna go with the Rhoads lifters anyways.

I have original Rhoads in my 68 torino, 428CJ 2 4bbls. Do they make some noise at lower RPMS, yes, do they make vacuum, yes. With a 230* @.050 lobe I have 18" of vacuum @ 800 rpm idle. '
I had a set in a 400, same deal great vacuum with a long duration cam.
My next 400 has VMAX Rhoads waiting to go in.
A great hi quality product that does what it is intended to do.
If you do a search I posted pictures of both Rhoads types and stock lifters disassembled.
The cam you are using is a big factor in if you should use them.
