I have two sets of lifters for the engine, what do you guys think I should go for, the comp high energy lifters or the crane antipump lifters?
The crane are higher rates in rpms to 6500-7000 so but I have a comp camshaft..

I have heard of a 4 bolt 327 block but I have never seen one. 327 blocks do not have the full web upper crank saddles like 350 blocks. They are the same bore so perhaps somebody who thought they had a 327 actually had a 350 block.

It's some old ones I'm hoping will clear the rockers, maybe need too grind down some spots inside them, but it seems to work without gaskets

If I may suggest-- Get some 3/8 steel line and make new fuel lines. One leak in the rubber and all of your hard work could go up in smoke. You would be amazed how fast!!

The heater hose you directed into the top of the water pump could also go into the side just above the lower radiator hose. Might make a cleaner looking install.

Looks really good. And almost done too. Get it on the road and enjoy!!

Yeah I know about the fuel lines, always had rubber but maybe should change them to steel
I have my temp sender in the other hole, maybe could switch them and get a better look, thanks!
