That's probably the way I would of put them, but they might not clean good like that.

What exactly does he think the shocks that are mounted from the spring eye to the ubolt plate are going to do?

521 roller motor making 700hp+. Probably more like 600.

Why a 1.7 rocker and not a 1.73?
Do you have any experience with the pedestal style roller rockers..... Trying to make up my mind on new heads or working the old ones myself

Nice TFS's...btw
