I couldn't find those at a good price, had the economaster laying around. But picked up the 625 street demon for 150$ brand new so I'm go I to run that with my dp

Also would you recommend rollers? I know you dropped one, but from.my understanding they weren't set up right, correct?
How much of a difference were the 1.7 ratio?

Last off topic post I swear!

 

Yeah, mine were not set up correctly. I was using ford locks on chevy valves. With the 1.7 you can see that it moves the p.rod closer to the valve, and almost touches the slot it goes through. It made me uncomfortable being so close. My valves are extremely shrouded and I did feel an extra performance boost with the higher lift.

If you don't have screw in studs and new springs and slots as opposed to holes, with them polished some, and valve guides, I would not run a higher lift roller. They were bbc rollers.

 

The owner of the OD contacted me with a reduced offer, and he is also throwing in an extra bell housing. The price now is so low that if I don't use it I can always sell it and make a few bucks. I'm hoping that it is in good working order and that I'll only have get the drive shaft redone.

On one of the sites dealing with this od, they mentioned that one of the nice things about it is that it was designed to be the same length as Ford automatics so the factory could swap without having to use a different size drive shaft.

I'll know more once I get it apart. One of the appealing aspects of this OD is that it can be left on in town for better mpg there too. I like it. I'm sure more info will follow.

 

I just put the OD up for sale. Forum members talked me out of using it. My best plans laid asunder with a little thing like logic and fact. Foiled again.

Thanks to all who enlightened me.
