Looks good so far! Keep us informed about any grinding necessary. Dave

Did the mock up have the cam and push rods and rockers in it. My Victors seemed fine until then. I then found out a considerable amount of grinding was required to even get the push rods to seat in the lifters. Mine were the first batch, so things might have changed. I wish you far better luck than I had. I hope Pro Comp didn't copy the Victors TOO closely.
Edelbrock has, at least on the max wedge version we have at the shop, added more clearance for pushrods. Whether it's enough is yet to be determined.

It is nice to see a pro comp thread without the bashing.
I'll admit, I had to bite my tongue.

Yea they are then ones they sell, .400 offset
Victors require at least a .600" offset (and still may need some grinding). If the ProComp rockers are really only .400", there may be some serious pushrod clearance issues to deal with.
