What 6.50 and Walter said.

Didn't the vortecs run no guide plates and self aligning rocker arms? Even the hot cam kit with 1.6 rollers from GM ran aluminum self aligning rockers.

There are 2 shims that come installed on the powermaster (you can see the larger one in the photo of your earlier post). A larger one where the motor attaches to the mounting block and a smaller round one where the drive bearing contacts the mountinting block on the inside. Removing both will give y...

FWIW from B&M ● Mount the B&M SuperCooler with the fittings on top or on the sides. It is not recommended to mount the cooler with the fittings pointing down as this may create an air pocket in the cooler resulting in reduced cooling efficiency. When mounting the cooler with the fittings on ...

I have seen the scenario of enough heat at the carb accelerator pumps to burp fuel out of the squirters after parking hot. The pump reservoirs have no place to send the heated fuel but through the nozzles. A quick fix is to drill the accelerator pump housing mount on the bottom of the float bowls (b...

Yes, as long as the cam lobes are OK.

The problem with most of the cheap ones is that they don't have a heavy enough return spring.

Thanks I will check him out, but if anyone has some first hand experience I'd like to hear their results as well. AFR is claiming over 300 cfm with these heads. I'm also curious as to why such a large intake valve for only a 210cc head? I believe that the stock intake valve on a 210 is a 2.08. The ...

Bob, does that Gen5/6 cam have a fuel pump pushrod lobe? I think some did and some did not. Only a problem if the customer is intent on running a mechanical pump.
