Morgan,
I'm sorry to here of your troubles!
Keith used Erson roller rockers on his stage two heads, and supplied everything from the
oil pan to the carb on my build. I'm pretty much done driving until next spring, so I'll be checking things out here soon. If changes need to be made, to sure things up, now would be the time. I am also going to change the
oil pan, as there is no windage or traps in mine. I had not planed on any road course action, but I see now it might be hard to stay away.
Kevin,
Things are a bit choppy down low until the motor comes up to temp. Once it's up to temp, it will idle at 800 rpm all day, with a nice lope, and rolls thru the gears, at low rpm, with no effort. I chose a .64 TKO 600, with a 3.50 rear, and in 5th gear at 60 mph it lugs, at 70 it smooths out, and at 75-80 it's cruisin' at just over 2000 rpm. It's all good as far as I'm concerned.
Brad
