Coming together nicely!

 

Pushrods will be 3/8-11/32 taper on intake and 7/16 on exhaust.
7/16 clears on the exhaust with plenty of room.

7/16 left, 11/32-3/8 middle and a 5/16 checker on the right for reference.

 

Pushrods are in and the long block is done. Need to pull my blower and build my steam vent lines for my heads. On a good note so far my NW102 "boosted version" is working well. I've had it out twice with the nice weather and am seeing a solid 1lb gain, need to step up to a 5" intake but that will be later.

 

I got an oil sample kit from Blackstone and will send out a sample from my stock engine just for the hell of it. Now I just need to tear my drivetrain out of the truck, gonna put new brake lines on etc while it's apart.

 

Have fun!

 

Oh ya

Up on a lift with no engine or trans will make it nice.

 

Finished building my steam vent lines.
