Ummmm....
Yes.
The car was (and is) my "69 Torino street racer/cruiser. Runs 10.20s on motor at 3627lbs. Its been both a driver and a racer the whole time. It was in the NHRA Division 3 Bracket Finals (one of the top 8 points cars at the now defunct local track) seven times. It was in the 2004 Hot Rod Pump Gas Drags where it spun the tires on pass #3 and averaged 10.80 after a 35 mile drive in rush hour. Its been a regular in the Woodward Dream Cruise including the rolling parking lot Friday evening parade in Berkely.
Crane's steel gear is fine on a steel cam - - pretty well proven by my friend Jay Brown who has run his solid roller cammed FE in the Hot Rod Drag Week competition a couple times now (with one win and one runner up) - for those who don't follow that, its a 1500 mile drive with a drag strip at each stop.
Every new car and million mile semi in the country has rollers in the lifters. Does that needle roller bearing know whether the guts above are solid or filled with
oil?????
I do the big Chevy pin too....its a good idea.
