Just trash screens in the valley that I know of, anything else would have been up to the builder. Pump is a Melling M77 HV.

Im going to try to put screens in. Block is already together so may be HARD!! I read never use restrictors unless you have a roller on BBC. Also said that the HV77 is overkill. I have a HV77 hope its not!!

Don't use the epoxy that come with the screens, use JB weld. I had a set come off on my other motor because of the epoxy. Not sure on the restictor thing, most of the new roller lifters have oiling provisions, if not then groove the lifter bores. Hope the HV77 also isn't overkill, I picked all my parts out and the shop that built it went through them first and didn't want to change any of them. I put faith in their 25 years doing it, so I also hope they new what they were doing.

Thanks for the JB weld tip!!
