wi50, nice build, I appreciate your doing it your way. It is a shame that our resident "keyboard puller/engine builder /performance guru" is so envious that he has nothing useful to add to or real knowledge to share, but simply is here to diss others and waste bandwidth. But that seems to be how he compensates for his own lack of           [fill in the blank]. Mitch, siddown and shudupp.

How long is the flat on the lifter. Stock small blocks that use a dog bone roller lifter design are. 632 long and you don't get much over factory lift before having to change them to a design with more individual verticle movement. Probably not intelligent enough to answers intelligently. Pulling same engine ten years seams like you should have got the natpa build but you didn't kurt hamill did.

.  The bore is currently at 4.562 or if my stalker had paid attention he would have read that they were from a Deere 6076 and been able to figure out what the ID is to start with.

Assume both paired lifters are in the lifter bore and the reason only one lifter trunion shows is to show the independent vertical movement the pair has .looks like thethe five mains come at a price of small bores also

only problem with this thread is Plankey.  Maybe someone can lock him.

Someone lock this thread, WOW...Trev.

A couple friends and I are togather on a component alky tractor.  My incomplete pictures of a clutch for it are because the pressure plate was not finished last time I was at Atlas Tractor..... but he had a scrap one I could use for dimensional purposes to get the clutch can to block spaceing correct.  Wednesday though I'll have the good one.  Just in case some idiot can't understand why I would have a 4 disc slipper laying around.

 

Now projects like this Allis engine or the superstock take a lot of time.  In the first post I did say it's a work in progress.  99.9% of you realize this, though I do get time on it now and then and have a lot of the parts well under way or completed for the next step in the process.  There is an order of operations one must go through in order not to back track to much.

 

 

I was on the road today, but I did get to the shop late this afternoon and took some pictures.  I'll send them to Chuck in a bit so he can post them.  I'll post them on YT mag tractor pulling forum shortly. 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, let someone's drama continue.  I'll spend my time on my family, my work and my projects.

have you seen a picture of the two additional upper mains tied into the block with sleeves installed. five main crank setting on three mains is the picture i have seen . I guess thats jumping down a throat. Or making a ignorant statement. kinda like a clutch just setting around. cap spacing took away cross arcing from little cap. sold that dizzy for 300 in virginia also had a head go there to.

Going to go pull against Wi, make us a video and show everyone how it was done. I know at the Nat. GOTO we were sure laughing about you.

  hows your pulling season rod ? you ever go to any pulls or just hang around the shows where you have plenty of setting around gossiping time?

Rod B wrote: I thought someone posted one time that it was impossiable to put roller lifters in one of these.  Not the same dolt is quoteing everything in agreement.   Maybe Wi's apprentice is learning something.

shubick ceramic lifters are easier to use because they can go in from the bottom like the oem.    keep reading rod b you to may become a apprentice of eithers

I'm thinking he's talking about the alky burner he's building.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Performance mods for a 226 in my world involve M&W pistons.  What WI50 is doing is crazy stupid fun to watch.
