Low maintenance and pump gas are the main reasons i built another shortblock. Any 511 in an A body will be a handful.


If you want low maintenance then go with a hyd roller rather than a solid roller. You'll give up some power above 6000 rpm but you most likely aren't going to take a 511 in an A body to redline very often anyway. I run hyd rollers in both of my cars for the same reason.
The way the car is now it never sees the street. Its a 446 race gas only set up 590 cam so its not ideal for street driving. Best et 10.82 best mph 126.0.

I'm not against solid roller at all. Checking lash is no big deal. I guess a better way to describe it would be turn key, load and go to track.

I have another near new set of the Isky Red Zones with needle rollers with little dyno use only - I might send them to Isky for conversion, I wonder if there is a contact for this, hmmm.

So far, so good up

I asked them about converting mine from needle bearings to bushings a couple years ago and they said no problem. Costs around $700 IIRC.


Thanks Chip, who is the best contact at Isky to contact?

Ive done a few thousand kms on mine without issue. The Bullet roller Im using doesnt have super aggressive ramps/lobes', this is the key for a reliable mostly street, some strip mill.

Same, I think. One good, one not so good.
