Got some jewelry today...

Thanks to everyone'e favorite 'man in brown', I received my new Morel Sportsman roller lifters this afternoon for my 468 BBC. Before you ask, yes it is a hyd roller (aka squishy roller, or 'girlie cam' as they refer to them at Team Chevelle). Got these from Chris Straub @ Straub Technologies. He's also cutting me a custom roller cam to make these babies go up and down in a big way. I had my heads flowed, sent him the #'s and my combo down to the last little detail and bit the bullet.

I had my heart set on running a solid roller, since hyd rollers and big blocks usually mean valve float before 6k, but these lifters are supposed to be good to 7k with the right springs (which I'll be getting from him) - he's cutting me a cam for peak power around 6200-6400rpm with a torque curve that hopefully looks like a Duramax diesel . Now I won't have to worry about running valves or inspecting/rebuilding lifters every few months.
