I bought my springs and retainers from Lunati and brought them to my machine shop and had them set everything up at the correct height.

703 or 704 , were my options. I decided 703, because of 3:15 gear, max red line of 5500(with rev limit set 5700), stock converter, daily driver, wife, daughter can drive it, non sticky tires, and I've had cars with a cam a tad too big, 1 a tad small is much more street friendly. Also, I've had a 702 in this engine, with low compression pistons, it was a beast, but run out of steam bout 4500rpm.

Now back to questions. I'm going with the Hylift Johnson. Does their R lifter make noise like Rhodes? Went to their web site and read all, but didn't say at what rpm they stop bleed down, or if they made noise? They offer a cam face hole special order?
After reading cliffs post bout all the oil going to cam, I may do nothing?
Or cut my own grove?
When the heads come off I'll question again bout springs and setup?
Still 2-3 weeks from teardown, gotta repair my son's farm tractor!

And, anyone know of a decent machine shop within 100 miles of east TN?
