where is a good place to buy new 35mm lifters for a decent price?
update
the powder coated towers are screwed. the guy boring them fuked up. i got him another 2.4 intake tower to NOT @!#$ up. i'll use a 2.3 exhaust tower.
i got the oil passage holes drilled for the 2.3 oil pump. need to find my tap. then need to plug some holes.
i bought some enkei 17 x 7.5 rims on 225/45 from a guy i work with. they need repowder coated. and i got a gm strut bar from the junk yard. the handling has improved a lot!
i have to much @!#$ going on at once
honestly, i'm an OHV guy through and through. i will never own a car where the cam is above the cylinder deck, but so far, this is beautiful.

yep. he was trying to fix his mess up by pressing more aluminum in the bore and was going to weld it in. when he pressed that piece in, it moved the metal on another bore. i am pissed about it. he was like just let me fix what i did. i said no, i wouldnt use it in anyone's motor. so i got another tower and told him to do it right. now im playing the waiting game with him.

I would still call you a moron that makes no sense. Just another person with the whole "well I would never own this or that.." With no reason. over head cam motors have been reliable, moddable, powerful... I don't understand. You have NO basis for saying "I will never own a car where the cam is above the cylinder deck".... That's why you make no sense. Because you are just spouting at the mouth with absolutely no ligit reason.

^^^ i haven't forgot. if he dont do it right i'll send you a tower.
a lil update i guess. the block i got from the junky yard is good. all the cyclinder walls are in great shape, just need honed but i do want them oversized if the price is right.
and my 37/64 drill bit, 3/8 npt tap, 3/8 npt plugs and a 1/8 npt plug will be in my mail box sometime this week. then its off to the machine shop.
i'll have some pics to post soon.
