That's what I've been thinking too is finding a 48' block. But as we all know that's a problem lol. I'd be interested in those rockers if you do have them and want to sell?
Thanks, Mark I'll have to look.. I know at one time I did have a set.. not sure if I sold them or not

Check the valve angle on those. There are a lot of variations on W7's. Also check how much the pads have been milled, who knows what setup was on there. Will do!ππ»

I had a twin to that block that I ran my w5s on. No oil holes to the deck from cam, a factory oil hole drilled to the water under the factory oil filter hole, not enough crank counter weight machining, so the crank won't even drop in the block and a slew of other stuff, IF it is truly a twin to my block lol!. Was your block a R3 block or R block? Thanks
