Thanks for the picture. I sure don't want to be bench-pressing 6 of those mothers!
What is the pin size on the Hudson rods?
RE: Mushroom lifters. Much has been written, but to simplify a much larger lobe can be ground on a larger dia lifter. It is a technique first used (hot rod style) by the NASCAR boys. For a quick comparison, check a VW catalog for the differences in the grinds available for the stock/ larger diameter lifters. The big catch with the jimmy is cam cores. As those who have done it will attest, you gotta bust out some bucks or have a lathe/cnc plus heat treating quipment. Maybe CNCDUDE could whip up a few nodular iron blanks for experimental poipuses. The difference in flow rate-intake vs. exhaust is the absolute limitation anyway. Regards, Wilbur
