| RE: Lift Question |

| You will have enough clearance without having to do anything to the piston. The problem is you will have to replace the stock retainers that are two piece, with a set of 390 GT type or buy some new aftermarket ones. The rotator style will start coming apart at anything much over 5,000 RPM. Other things to consider, if you have a stock motor is the wear patterns on the valve stems. You start adding lift to an engine that was running only .427 (stock) lift and it will "jump" as it hits the top of the guide (the valve) and wear rapidly. This is a common mistake that lots of people make when swapping cams. Now if you have it apart and mic the stems and measure the guides, that is a different story, (and the right way) so be warned that all is not so easy for a successful transplant. |
