How much lift can stock Vortec heads handle?
I'm putting a set of Vortec heads on my sbc 400 my cam has a lift of .443/.465. i've heard a lot of different things about the highest lift vortecs can take without machining ive heard .420-.550. which seems a little high. I have matching springs, Competition Cams 742-16 Steel Retainers, with locks, do not have new valve stem seals yet. I'm wondering if with what i have if i can use this cam with theses heads without cutting the valve guides down. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
