Drive train is a 4l80e with a TSP converter that stalled at 3200rpm behind my current engine. Triple disc clutch that gets full throttle lockup in 2nd through 4th gear. Rear gears are a 3.31 with a 26" tire.

Currently +0.030 455. The rebuild will go to +0.040. The current plan is to reuse the factory 4.21" crank if it's salvageable. If not, I'll go to a 4.25" crank.

With the mention of Harland Sharp 1.65 rocker arms my post #7 in this thread could be relevant.....

https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...ighlight=1.684

Note- The link within the post no longer works but it really wasn't necessary. In addition further info within the thread might be of interest as well.
