i'd go with the high-tech stainless or the magnum full roller over the aluminum versions. you won't see a whole lot of gain over the roller tips though, maybe 5-10hp at the upper RPM range, if that.
Actually I meant over other COMP offerings like the roller tip rockers.
woo hoo!!!!!!
I know which car is yours.........
I really like the blacked out hood treatment. With the rim and tire choice the car had a whole new look.
I didn't catch the last article. What have you done with the car other than an upcoming motor write-up?
Thanks I'll have to check them out. I must have missed more than one issue.
You've got a nice ride there. It was refreshing to see a build on something a little different. I'm own a 66 stang and even I get bored reading about the more "popular cars".
They going to let you keep the "work car" or is it your car and they supply parts?
We own our own project cars.. I supply the labor and they supply the parts. It helps offset the crappy pay. lol
I try to build stuff in the book the way I would in real life if I didn't get stuff discounted or free. If it's a crummy part I won't use it just because it's free. That sort of deal.
Actually, I'd have alot more projects if I could do it on company time and with the company dime.Sounds like a great job perk to me. Hell, I'd probably work for food if I could flex my creative juices on the projects I wanted to do. Let me sleep somewhere in the shop and throw me a cold beer once in a while.
I definately get the crummy part thing. If someone gave me a bad part and told me it was free I wouldn't use it in my car either.
I know I'm badgering you with questions but you're only the second mag. guy that I've met online. How flexible is the mag about letting you pick the projects you want to build and the type of car to build on?

by the way use the comp link bar lifters for a conversion, they are the absolute best on the market
The AFR's are 205cc .....you will have to upgrade the valve springs too. We started out with Edelbrock heads but when we pulled them apart we found the specs were way off and the valve seats didn't sit well at all. We pulled the AFR's apart and they were right on!
Used Scorpion roller tip roller rocker arms.....good price and have proven themselves in this shop....Crane roller lifters.....Comp (hardened) push rods.
The cam we chose was a Crane Powermax #449601.....I was looking for instant throttle respnse and good follow thru to 6000 or so.
Carb. we ended up with after trial and error was the Holler 670 Street Avenger.
Thats great that you don't have a height problem to deal with.....that sure caused us some grief.
