What to do?

[oldbee]

The heads arrived today so here are a few pics if someone wanted to see what they look like. Overall they look pretty nice.

You know, the only other car related forum I ever joined was MBWorld due to my experience with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The reason I refuse to visit that forum any longer was due to all the know-it-all's that would jump around spreading disinformation and leading good people astray that were only there for help from people they thought knew what the hell they were talking about. I just found myself going from thread to thread trying to give good information but it didn't matter because they were always those that had thousands more posts that people ended up believing and those idiots would always counter my solid advice.

With that being said, I'm out

Relax,,,, all the previous post meant was after years/mileage is the lifters might be worn a little( it is a good possibility). If you were carrying good oil press before then you ‘should’ be OK. Never say never!

Lifter bores, I meant.

"With that being said, I'm out"

HUH ?
You are out ?
Why ?
I thought you were looking for good advice ?

because someone who has experience with.... and has used the Crower HIPPO Lifters in BB Mopars LOTS.... gave you some advice to PRIME the Engine Oil System first on the stand before putting it in the Car ?
That is no more than good mechanical practice ?
or,
because someone pointed out the RACE Cam profile you using requiring 650# Rate per Inch Valve Springs, you are then planning to run on the STREET driven environment, may.... just "may"..... also require an enhanced regime to inspection and V/Spring maintenance for best results on the STREET ?
CALL the Manufacturer if you believe someone here is trying to give you BAD advice ?
What's a phone call take at this point ?

The guy joins the forum a month ago because he doesn’t know wth he is doing or looking at, then wants to storm out of here after getting advice from professionals. See ya.

It's because of the street I am sticking with the 750. I figured I won't be spending ALL of my time full throttle so the 750 may help.

I know I am going to end up with the engine too tall for my hood and I can't bring myself to cut a hole in the hood. It would be great to find someone local that could make a fiberglass hood from the original and then do what I want with it. I can't seem to find any listed for sale.

I’m running an Edelbrock Victor intake with a Holley dbl pumper atop the 440 in my ‘65 Coronet. It barely fits under the hood with an air cleaner with a drop down base - the hood has been cut and I have a scoop. Looking thru the opening you can see the top of the air cleaner just about even with the hood.
