Put a couple of short 3/8 unc bolts in the 2 holes on the front R/hand side of block one of them goes into an oil gallery, too long it will hit fuel pump push rod.
The pushrod/oil gallery bolt is in. The one underneath that bolt I assumed was an accessory bolt!!!! You got me thinking now :what:...I don't have the motor here to check, I have taken it to the dyno guy. I'm sure they will work it out when they prime it for oil pressure and oil p#isses out everywhere!!

Nice work! I fired up my new 388 (383 but .060 over) this past week. What are the specs on the engine? Where are you having it dynoed?

This one is 385 (.040 over) all forged internals, solid roller and alloy heads. The experts tell me the combo should get some good numbers but i'll see how that pans out on Wed!
I'm not sure about the height of the carb and manifold though :what:
rosco:
With that 25 mm spacer in there you will struggle getting that under the hood.
Not sure what manifold you are using but that combo is good I have used similar in the past with the spacer.
A Eddie with a 12 mm spacer and a 2" air cleaner will clear a standard hood, or go with a weiand open plan.
Solid roller in a street car mmm interesting we are going for some good hp.
I use solid flat tapped in my 383 an it's only a mid 550 lift with 239 at 50 thou and it runs good numbers.
What fuel pump brand is that you are using.
Regards Rosco

Sounds nice! How big is the roller, and what heads? Keep us posted with your dyno results...
