I do see what you are saying about the Icon's and they do seem to be a really good deal for the money.What do they mean by offset pins??.Is it a 5/64's ring across the board or are they a 5/64's-5/64's-3/16's??.If they are just a 5/64's-should that be a cause for concern??.
In term of the stock lifters,the L30 I have was a 1995 which was a transitional yr and mine came threw as a flat lifter engine.It has the bosses in the galley which is tapped and threaded.I am thinking I would go with the aftermarket stuff just for peace of mind.I know of one guy locally with a Camero that had a problem with collapse OEM lifters and these vans are not the easiest to work on.
Do the reassembled RHS heads come threw with springs to handle the hyro roller cams or would I be better off buying bare and build up with a matched springs to the cam??.
There is a guy who's shop is close to mine and he is building a 50's chevy coup with a vett tpi.We talked a couple of days ago briefly while I was having him mount some tires for me.He said(I might have this backwards)that he swapped out the mass air sensor to a map sensor and had a company burn a chip for him to get around that problem.I'll have to check into that farther.I sure wish I had the cash for a Edelbrock EFI.
I have seen deals on the used 3500 series units,but I visited their forum and they are saying buying used is a risk.That they don't support the old stuff anymore so your kind of on your own.
Well I got to get to my shop to try to get some work done today.I'll check back later.
Thank you all for the help.
