New valve springs and retainers, plus I think I have my head wrapped around how to sort out my valvetrain deflection/pushrod length situation. I'm giving up a lot of net lift due to bad geometry. Plus, if anyone here has some old Crane 1.6 rockers for a small block that they're not using, PM me.
I'm also refreshing the convertor. After the last freshening, it launched the car really well at first, but now it no longer flashes to the needed 4500-5000 rpm my heap desperately needs. (TCS 8") To top it off, after finding out the limitations of my mini-spool behind a a trans brake with new slicks (Yes, Virginia a small-block actually CAN completely destroy every part of a 9" if you really try.), I need every part of a 9" that exists between the end of the driveshaft and the wheels, except for the driveshaft yoke and the housing. Well, not every part. I don't need new nuts for the center section studs.
