New Pic of My Truck
Here's a new pic of my truck at the hit...You guys may remember I was putting a 468 together a couple of months ago. We got it running, but lost a cam on the third pass (it literally wiped out all 16 lobes on the cam). We went on a recommendation from our machine shop (they also build some kick ass motors) and ran a Crower Solid cam this time. After a little tuning, it went 6.72 in the 1/8th with a 1.42 60'......After 6 passes, we went to check valve lash and noticed several exhaust valves loosened up severely. Brought it home and tore into it yesterday to find 4 exhaust lobes wiped out and a couple more headed that direction. So, we're back to square one. Everything is going back to the machine shop to get checked out. It looks like our installed height on the springs is way off. I'm thinking it may be time for a roller.....Here's the pic.
