PBR - I have a set of 1.7 Jesel paired rockers so that is already set in stone.

FastMop-Thanks for the info IIRC that is a tall deck? What RPM do you spin it to?

B-rad: I appreciate the info on the .210 BAM lifters. I think that is what Mike Jones sells and I am looking hard at the steel on steel bushing option. Being a low deck I have better get the heads back and mock everything up. FWIW I used Isky .180 offset on the intakes of my Victor motor and it helped the p/rod angles significantly.

Another stupid question - With p/rod oiling (Jesel paired blocks feed from block) can I run a solid body lifter or do I need the oil band? If so how do I know which lifter won't uncover the band at full lift? My first guess is that I will have to get specs on the prospective lifters and compare them to the cam lift.
