Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice 4.25" stroke. Also 2" chevy rod journals. Andrew

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice This is off topic, which I think has pretty much run its course, but my 180 degree crankshaft showed up from Moldex last night. Here are a few pics, one is it next to an original Norden. The longer snout is to accommodate a 1" Supercharger pulley, a 1"...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Hey Ron, where do you think the optimum plug placement (if there is one) should be? For performance of course. Do you think indexing plugs improves performance? Andrew

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Virgil only made 3 sets total. Andrew

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Earl is pretty much sitting back and advising but I'm sure will be involved during the assembly. He's interested in how the mushroom lifters will work out. Something he's always wanted to try. Yes, I'm going to run these heads on this build. I'm think it's...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Hey Ron, I'm using the twin to the block Earl ran with injected nitro that has set many records in it's day and is still a runner but not in a car at this time. One thing Earl had done was to machine out the intake runner and move it away from the exhaust...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Hey Martin, Earl ran some of his fastest times when he borrowed Hanson's heads. Luckily for me, I was able to get a hold of Virgil and purchase the same heads Earl ran 20 years ago. They have more volume over the exhaust valve and are designed for a pop-up...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Ron, here's a pic of the block with my intake.

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Hey Ron, Yes the block is filled with aluminum. My father in law, Earl Floyd, had a few done about 25 years ago. If I were to do it today I'd use epoxy. Andrew

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Ya, very similar to the 300F and I don't know what the lift rate is. Although I wish I did, I don't always have the technical knowledge on many aspects of this build, especially the cam. I provided Larry with all the details of what I'm doing and I would have...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Camshaft finally arrived yesterday and it only took 6 months. I had Joe at Roto-Faze turn me a blank then shipped off to Jerry at Schneider Racing Cams. Told Jerry the purpose of the build and they ground out the 180 degree cam. Crankshaft should be here in a...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Sheesh! Read my original post if you're going to comment. I didn't ask whether or not I should use them, I ask for info from those who have. Andrew

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice First I have to apologize for not following the forum rules since this post is not stock/restored Flathead project. I just wanted to finish this thread I started over a year ago. I did post about my Flathead build but it was removed for violating forum rules...

Re: Mushroom lifters – Any advice Well, it took about 9 month but I finally have my mushroom lifters. I couldn't find any stock lifters to modify so I had these made from 8620. Since it's the same material as my cam, I had them DLC coated. Can wait to get them installed. Andrew

Does anyone have available the bellhousing bolt pattern. Not sure if they're different but this is for a 49-53 engine. I'm need one made that meets SFI 6.3 specs. Thanks, Andrew
