Miller head on Burtz Block

[Chris Haynes]

Has anybody run a Miller head on Burtz Block? If so I am wondering if the Burtz cam works or if I should be looking for something else.

What is the rocker ratio with the Miller Head. I would imagine you would need a cam designed for a OHV engine unless the ratio is 1:1.

You should run a different cam-grind because the Steve Serr Miller has 1.5:1 rockers and will result in too high of valve lift, which will result in excess wear of the valve train. The Burtz cam can be reground to OHV specs, I've done this several times.

That is a popular build today. https://millerhi-speedheads.com/index.html

The photos on that site are absolutely stunning. The engines are jewels.

I've got both unassembled in my garage right now.

I will let you know once my occupation starts giving me some time back.
