WOW did not know I would stri up this much of a conversation! I only wanted to know because I am rebuilding a motor combination I ran 10+ years ago, I know at that time a lot of stuff we could not use we can today.

I might still run the stamped steel rocker arms, never broke one with over a 100 passes on this motor.They are Crane, but not even "long slot" , felt I didn't need it with a .398 lift cam.Hope i can use the Shubescks too, they never broke either. I'll be good just getting it back to where it was, even though I "lost" 2 Tenths in index it should still run 3 to 5 tenths under. Same 290 heads with no "tricks" Low RPM motor.

Quite honestly more concerned about going from Stick Shift to Automatic, seems like that Converter Tranny stuff can be the real money pit. That Jerico I had in my car is now in my buddies Nostalgia C/SM Camaro- we figure over 350 passes on that tranny without being touched.! Now it is going behind a Straight 6 292 built to old H/MP trimOOPs hope I didn't jinx him!
