I also went ahead and measured up the installed height on the 10 degree stuff with the valve LocCap retainer/cap setup and will try to compile that data over the weekend.

I ordered a set of Isky 9999-RAD springs that will work perfect for my cam and next up will be a set of their EZx rollers with all of the bells and whistles. I need to find a Manley dealer as well. Summit seems a big high on their titanium stuff.

If any of you 11/32" valve stem guys need to borrow the valve lock/retainer assortment I'll be happy to loan it out for a deposit equaling the sum of the parts + insured shipping both ways. I'm out 300 clams so you won't have to be.


Lastly...

A very special thanks to Mr. Michael Beachel of B3 Racing Engines. He was the only guy to hear me out and help engineer a solution when everyone else was telling me I was out of luck, buy a smaller cam, "just run it that way", etc.

This engine is going in my small tire, face plated 4-speed street car and its going to rip. I'm stoked!
