These have to be my favourite photos of any engine. Seeing the Pushrod/Valve train alignment can tell a lot about a motor.

All the engine are 650ci and have been run in our truck over the years. These would be the last 4 engines we have ran in Diablo. Each one trying to catch up and compete with the GM and Ford boys in the club.

Crazy to see the evolution of the engines and how technology changes.

First engine was build with a old set of 4.840 B1-TS (originally a set Denis Radford had). KB block 11.225 deck, Stock size cam and lifter location, .903 Tie Rod lifters with .210 offset, Jessel rockers.

Crazy how the angles are! After each run we would cross our fingers taking the valve covers off. Wouldn't let her turn past 7500 rpm either. We found out quickly this was NOT a set up that would last in the pulling word of 15-20 seconds of running wide open. The next TS engine we bought and then upgraded had many new additions to keep it living.
