George, in light of the fact that your carb tags are "missing", I think you should put some grease pencil markings on that bird to make it more "original". A nice, big "F U" on the diff cover ought to be just about the perfect "resto touch"... :lmao:

We used the 440Source springs& dampeners for the break-in with Rotella 20W-50 and plenty of comp cams break-in additive. EDM lifters were also chosen to provide more oil to the cam lobes. Will keep an eye on the lash until I get a feel for how well it stays in spec.

how much are these EDM LIFTERS...this website says $159.00 each??...or is that 1 set??....http://www.buyracingparts.com/valvetrai ... l.....this is something new out??..i am using schubeck solid lifters which has a composite/ceramic bottom....no break-in/no wear..$800.00 for a set....your lifters seems like a great idea but you still need zinc in your oil which was taking out of todays oils because of bad emissions to the environment...% zinc is the amount of zinc used as an extreme pressure, anti- wear additive. The zinc is only used when there is actual metal to metal contact in the engine. Hopefully the oil will do its job and this will rarely occur, but if it does, the zinc compounds react with the metal to prevent scuffing and wear. A level of .11% is enough to protect an automobile engine for the extended oil drain interval, under normal use. Those of you with high reving, air cooled motorcycles or turbo charged cars or bikes might want to look at the oils with the higher zinc content. More doesn't give you better protection, it gives you longer protection if the rate of metal to metal contact is abnormally high.........read this also.....http://micapeak.com/info/oiled.html

Do I get any points or a prize of some sort for the tag on my 71 440 AVS? It denotes that it is indeed the low po version. Really impotant.

Lifters were $175, comp cams #2901-16. The motor has at least a couple of hours of break-in and dyno run time and about half of the valves needed adjusting by the end of the runs. Check out the article above, good reading on the zinc compoud and its process of protection.

Sweet!!!
Seems a damned shame that you're leaving that thing to Stu-Rat "The Vega HatchBack Guy" in your will...
You & I need to work out a "reverse mortgage" kind of deal on that beautiful specimen of B5 History...and I have an A-Body with your name on it as a down payment...
