    You dont have to spin a BB very high to make great power...Nice, huh!!?? I would think the .080 is fine for clearance on the intake...and remember, the lift doesnt have as much to do with P/V clearance as does the duration and LSA. Im glad Pat agrees with the bearings too...Mine runs pretty much the same clearances, and I have a stock pump with the hi perf. spring in it, and I have no problems with oiling at all. You will be fine. Sounds like you're on your way with this big block. John

    Thanks John, Thanks Pat for all the info, it sounds like were all on the same page with this motor build. I need to figure out how to post pictures and put together a few of the motor and the truck for you guys. I'd like to here your ideas for chassis set up and tires (refer to my previous post for my ideas and exisitng setup) PS loved the 505 Camaro video John, can hardly wait to get this big block done!
