    After several years of scrounging for parts it’s finally coming together. Many thanks to the HAMB members who helped me out. 5B8E4B36-6E00-4FBF-8234-F274E32D78B0.jpeg B7EDC072-1179-4174-9A7B-52C495C2241B.jpeg 5B8E4B36-6E00-4FBF-8234-F274E32D78B0.jpeg B7EDC072-1179-4174-9A7B-52C495C2241B.jpeg 5B8E4B36-6E00-4FBF-8234-F274E32D78B0.jpeg B7EDC072-1179-4174-9A7B-52C495C2241B.jpeg

    Thanks. If you notice I’m running adjustable rocker arms. Rocker Arms Unlimited did the conversion.

    Don't run a lot of spring pressure with those converted rocker arms....The exhaust side have been known to break... They were designed to be used with stock hydraulic lifters and valve springs....

    What would you consider a safe spring pressure?
