You're welcome, Jim. The elongation.....the tapered Manton pushrods in that build made drumsticks look tiny. To answer your question I believe it was just the ends (not all) if I remember correctly. Chuck went the extra mile to ensure the oil drain back was in good order, no clearance issues, etc. Also, the fittings/lines just under the center exhaust ports, I wanted those tapped for running coolant through there from the Meziere pump to help cool down the exhaust valves area since they're so close to each other (nitrous stuff). Minimal mod with an MSD Pro BIllet distributor, but which design valve covers are you planning to use?
