olds 442, I beleive that the edelbrock olds heads use stock style(small block chevy) rocker arm set ups, not the trunions. If I am wrong I apoligize. I sure would like to see it happen tho. GM's rule!

The Edelbrock Olds head uses regular studs and guide plates. However, it would not be a problem at all for Edelbrock to make a run with 5/16-18 threaded rocker bosses to accept factory valvetrain. They did not alter the valve location or angle on the Edelbrock head.

Bruce, I don't doubt that one bit, not at all. It does not even come close to surprising me, either.

I think you should build a LT-1 70 Corvette. I've had a nova(396 though) and a vettes(427 and 350's) and chicks dig the vette alot more. Plus your wife/girlfriend will let you spend more $ on the vette than that ugly nova.

Having Fun,
Alex

PS-just KIDDING about ugly nova's, but not about running the vette...
