Best BBC Intake?

Post by 2013cossj »

Someone makes a tool that grabs onto a rocker arm, like a spring checker, that allows you to attach a ratchet and pull the valve open to check piston to valve clearance with the real springs installed. Anybody know who sells this? Thanks

I must be missing something here?
What does PVC have to do with a intake manifold recommended?

Anyway, if your running a solid lifter then why don’t you back off on the rocker adjustment and pack in feeler gauges until you can’t anymore.

Just note that with a performance cam many times the point of least piston to valve clearance is not at TDC!

The best BBC intake is the one that work the best with your combination. You just have to test them all out.

Custom sheet metal or billet intake. As said above, best for what?
