Inliners International Forums General Discussion Hi Performance Building a 302 GMC for LSR

I am going to make a rocker stand similar to what Jesel makes,and eliminate the factory type shaft. You could either drill and tap the plate for rocker studs or use a more modern shaft mount rocker like they offer as well. You can block off the oil port in the head, and use conventional oil-thru-pushrods to get the oil to the rockers. Of course you will also have to have oil-thru-lifters to do this. That is also an area I am looking into, boring the existing lifter bores to use modern SBC type lifters(roller)and hyd. and flat tappet as well. BHJ makes a lifter-tru plate to correct the lifter bores for the SBC's, I've used it many times, and am considering making one to do this for the Stovebolts and GMC's. That would open up many more doors of opportunity for cam choices, as well as provide a more economical way to use a roller cam in these engines....
