Did it the PSB & Mr. Fixit way also using CompCams kit & components. Works extremely well, no reliability or maintenance issues, and revs just fine up to 6200 RPM shift point.

Machine shop milled a small flat in the center of the lifter valley for the spider, tapped threads for the spider bolts, and locktite'd the spider bolts in place.

A little clearancing was required at the top of the lifter bosses to accomodate the locking bars.

Installed the valvesprings that came with the cam on the heads (but I do that with every cam).

Pushrods had to be measured for correct length, then special ordered.

Used CompCams ProMagnum steel roller rocker arms for longevety on street motor. Comp recommends factory refurbishing whenever the heads are off for a valve grind.

Used FMS steel distributor gear on distributor for roller cam.

Torque is awsome, motor idles with a slight lope at 850 RPM, and pulls 15" - 16" vacuum at idle. Had to jet down beacuse vacuum signal to carb is so strong.
