Red, I plan to let Scrappy actually defend me when I go to trial. It'll hopefully be for a noise violation, reckless driving, and massive burnouts.
Rich, I'm glad I watched at least one of those videos. The 523 stroker build video. I noticed the pushrods laid out on the table, and there were two sizes, .050" difference. I just got done mocking up for rocker geometry and pushrod length, and sure nuff, my exhaust pushrod length is .050" longer than the intake side. Just cause I wanna know, I'm gonna measure the old factory pushrods.

I'm pretty sure all of the factory rods are the same length. I remember having mine all bagged up after disassembly.
My AFR heads have revised angles and my intake and exhaust push rods are different lengths because of that. I'm sure your TFS heads are the same.

They are. I suspected the valve angle would do that. Not an issue though, pushrods come in single, four, eight, or sixteen packs.

That's more than a hair! My set up math'd out at .050" difference. But that was just for a preliminary check. I'll make final measurements once the heads are torqued down on the the gaskets.
"Broke Foot" good one

Geez, what a mess. As per Trick Flow's website, I ordered their cylinder head studs. When I mocked them up this morning, I found that they are at least 1" too long. After going back and forth reading their descriptions and Summit's description, I realized I got the studs for the A460 heads. But in my defense, both Summit and Trick Flow also list Powerport heads, which is what I have. I just missed that there was no "," between "Powerport" and "A460".
And of course, nobody has the correct ARP head studs that I need. Summit's site says they'll ship from factory by September 27. Two friggin' months! Oh, and I backordered an Edelbrock 7566 intake manifold from Summit. They originally said it would ship from factory by August 23. Now they say it'll ship September 9. Yippeeeee!
