Nice. Wondering how high you spun it and did the power linger or drop and at what rpm

Its a 6.1 block

The power kinda flattened out from 7300 up...…….The reason being its floating the valves. I have to rethink the valve train it will self destruct like this. I have .060 piston to valve on the intake side .100 on the exhaust. Exhaust is fine intake not so much. I have run solid roller stuff at .055 and never had an issue but with .040 preload I think the lifters are pumping up and hanging the valves. The rocker tips look a little funky and the valve tip on the edge looks a little weird. I am thinking I need to shim the lifters solid and run it like a solid roller. The springs are also suspect it has a 2.18 solid stem intake valve (kinda heavy) in my opinion for a beehive spring. Pulling it down to address these issues I used a standard lifter and would rather not go crazy at this point with T&D rockers would rather use the stock rockers (budget) but if I need to prolong the project and buy the T&D stuff I will. What is the general consensus on lifters at this level ? I am pretty sure lifters and springs need to be addressed.

What we do is use a cam with smooth lobes, stay around .615 lift, hollow stem intake valves, Ferrea beehive or LS double spring and Ti retainer. We also use the Johnson lifter and either 20 or 30wt. oil...no more than 30wt.
Also use Manton shafts to keep the rocker motion more stable.

What spring are you running? Me and Craig had a long conversation about this a couple weeks ago

Using the manley 221439 springs. I will say the cam has a fast lobe. I wanted to use the hollow stem valves from the beginning but was convinced to keep the solid stems in the heads, still might put them in. My big concern is the lifter pump up with .060 P/V on the intake side. The exhaust is good over .100. How tight have you guys run these things? It did have 15w40 in it and it did have 100+psi of oil pressure, another concern I was planning to switch to 10w30 or lighter. Has anyone used the crower or isky lifters yet? Are the johnsons worth $750? Just steep for a hyd lifter I think.

The 66 has 2 carter carbs and a Indy modman with a chrome dome air cleaner and hidden coils. Runs 11.0s on radials through full 3 inch exhaust.

Nice car. Crowers are Johnson lifters. I dont know of $750 Johnsons. I plan to run the axle oiled Johnsons in my next motor. They cost about 350.

That spring specs are weaker than PSI1515 that I use. Also, the best part about running Thiteks is using a dual spring.

Yep, dual springs, johnson lifter, and either go with a slower lobe, or lighter int. valve...you could even go Ti but you'll need to watch your P/V clearance as the margin on the Ti valves is much thicker.

The short travel Johnson's were quoted at $740. maybe I should look around. I would like to talk to Craig about what spring setup works best but I can't find any contact information anywhere.

I really don't get the short travel lifter thing. Just measure for pushrod lenght and get a pushrod .020-.030 longer. Or less. Not sure of the growth amount on these g3 but i assume its around .005

If you have fb you can get Craig on messenger. I have his phone number but it might be his personal number I really don't want to give out

I'll try to contact him through Facebook, I can appreciate not giving his number out. My theory is the regular lifter has a bunch of travel, I have .040 preload IF the lifter pumps up my P/V goes to .020. It tagged an intake valve on cyl 5 during one of the pulls. When we pulled it apart the rockers already had some funky scuff marks and so did the valve tip.I was thinking the short travel lifter would reduce the chance of pump up if I had .010 of preload the most I could lose is the .010.
