Schubeck lifters

I will do what the rules allow. This is the first lifter break I have had with a Schubick/ Smith. I broke one when the rod broke in La. years ago. Lost one at Indy when a head of a valve popped off but still qualified. This is the one just failed but I don't know why. Maybe I have been lucky all these years.

I ran these lifters, cam, and valve train all year, and just got off the dyno and it made decent power. News flash peak power is at 6200-6300, and rod and piston weighs 1755 grams each. It's kinda like racing a diesel. I have a nine grand tach and about a third of it is never used.

A 10,000 rpm 396 is Jim Boudreau backup engine, what the #1 engine will turn is still classified information.
