Flathead ain't-got-no rocker arms. Maybe you're thinking of his custom-fabricated roller lifters?

Buddy- Wouldn't heat-shield coating the pistons' undersides negate the oil-cooling aspect? Or did you not implement the oil-spray setup? Heat-shield on the tops of the piston crowns is very desirable.

Dale, ya big 'ol drama queen! The bottom end is together, so all you have is the top-what are you going to do with the extra 2 nights you'll have? LOL!

Seriously, nice job! I'll see you in a couple of days!

Jack, we're running out of time-we'll be on the dyno a week from today! We have all of the parts for the oil squirters, but may not have time to get it set up before the dyno, so the coating was precautionary.

Jack, perhaps I talk I think what I'm knowing about . . . maybe.  :-D

Let me rephrase the question.

"And by the way - what's the diameter and overall length on those cam followers?  I might be seeing a British application in my future . . ."

It's no wonder I had problems earlier on . . .

Buddy and team,
Your build is looking awesome!  I'm just sorry I don't get back your way until after Speed Week.  I'm going to have to be satisfied with the bikes at BUB.  But sometime this fall, I hope to get up to Greeley to have a look.  My first car was a '37 Chev, so naturally, I'm jealous.  Had to sell it back then - - the sacrifices we had to make.

A little update on the car side of things I picked up the rest of the front end fiberglass parts this morning and delivered them to the sign shop so they can get all lettered up the body work that needed to be repaired on the car itself is mostly done and max said the car will be done tomorrow afternoon.  Also while they have been busting hump on the body work and paint I have been collecting all the necessary hardware and such to bolt this thing back together also I scored some heavy steel plate from R&J welding for free so we can put some more weight in this pig  anyways here is a few pics of the front end stuff Chrome don't get ya home

Sorry it took sooooo long to answer your question ---  The OD. is .750 and the body length is around 2.600 less the adjuster

Whoo-Hoo!!!!  She's looking good! :cheers:

Well, we have a few engine issues to work through, so we won't be on the dyno Monday. I've spoke with John Beck, and Stainless, looking for a good plan 'B'.

We'll get the engine sorted out, then I'll let you know what plan 'B' is- just as soon as I know what it is!! :?

Buddy, Dale, and Crew,

Looks great, keep up the good work.
