Longer push rods ?

Well, I pulled that 327 apart and discovered some problems, so I bought a Dart block, took it and the internal parts to Greg Luneack. I'll get back a properly bored and honed short block assy ready to assemble. We'll see if the valve lift measurements are the same, or if any difference in the block dimensions exist, and have affected the valve train geometry and the valve lift figures any. I think I'll order some more push rods and see if I can fine tune the lift dimensions that way,as well. We had such an interesting thread going that it motivated me to put more time and research into this project to see what improvement and what results might occur. I'll be back with the results.
