You can buy 500 roller lifters and hope for the best or you can buy 1200 buck Crowers and still hope for the best. The Chevrolet fire I mentioned was a stock 89 Jimmy that windowed the block for no apparent reason and severed the fuel line onto the exhaust. Freak accident I agree and I was able to save it from total loss but there are no guarantees is my point I guess. I could build it back milder but what’s the fun in that?

You had stated that it was a bit much for the street. I guess you changed your mind since you posted that.
