Ok, so now we have a flow bench headed our way! Thanks Sparky! It's always great, and informative, to talk with you!

It's going to be a busy off season, to say the least!
We we're discussing the roller lifters, and trying to decide on a suitable solution to keep the lifters aligned. We were leaning toward double keyed lifters, but then Don came up with a brilliant idea- oval shaped lifters!
So, this engine will have custom made lifters and lifter blocks, with oval shaped lifters and block bores!
