Thanks Jerry!
Can you give me some advice on which Vac pump to use please ?

I have just discovered that the Comp Cams Roller lifters I have are too short as I said above. So i asked my UK supplier for a price on the .300 taller lifters. His price was $800.00 for a set of lifters?? Thats over £500 sterling. Can this be true?? I have emailed Comp Cams to explain what I need so they can give me a part number. That was 3 days ago and no reply so far?

My next problem is that I forgot to buy shell bearings for the crank and rods. So I called my UK supplier who sold me the Eagle Forged 383 Stroker Crank and the Eagle Forged Rods. The reply was "we dont know what shells you need mate" When I explained that they sold me the crank + Rods + Pistons + the DART block the reply was "we suggest you measure the crank journals and buy a set of shells to match that. Then trial fit with plastigauge to see if you need to buy more shells that might be + or - 1 thou or so. When i asked for a price of stock SBC 350 shells I was told they are $180 ?

I have now asked my engine guy to measure up the crank journals so i can buy what I need from another supplier as I think my UK supplier is having a laugh with nearly $1000.00 for these lifters and shells??
