the push rods are laying out in the cab.the mechinces just happen to build alcohal big blocks for his jon-boat racing fun and found a valve spring that is going to be able to keep the valves from floating at 50+ of boost.i gave him that part number i got and the spring he found has alittle more pressure than that.and it's a drop in.
plus he did alittle something to the heads.he said the valves will not float again.as long as i don't juice it
i don't have any part numbers yet but i will.and a list of all was done.should come in under $4000 complete.

Some part numbers for the springs would be nice if you get a chance.

Ok back when I was there they were all from Saint Clair, guess they got smart and moved to Sullivan! Gotta ask what the mechnics name is, I knew a guy south of the park on 185, name Tom, but we allways called him Tommy, about 6'6" tall guy.

his name is robbie pounds.he is a few miles down highway A.
i will get the part number from him.they don't have the rotater though.but he seams to think that the truck runs over 400* on the exshaut that the carben build up won't be a problem.the are a two pcs spring set up.
i wish some-one would come out with new rockers for these trucks,the only choice is stock and a $1500 roller rocker's.
