The mid 70's Nova is Bobby Zlatkin E/PS

Using Stamped Rockers required a bit of coaxing.
In the 80s the MacElroy Cam was the hot solution for the 350/255.
To make the cam legal you had to bang the Rocker Stud in forward to kill Rocker Ratio to meet Lift.
Or you ground and lapped the tip to kill ratio.
I know..because I got bounced for too much lift!!

Jeff Warren put brand new GM Stamped Rockers on my engine.
For my particular set up my Blueprinted Cam Card the lift is listed based on a 1.5 ratio.
Had to rebuild that engine because of a hurt piston becaue of a bad Injector.
Putting it back together measured the cam Lift and was a tad under the Stock Lift because the Stamped are around 1.47 Ratio.

Now the LS Engines have Roller Rockers and the Specs should be more precise than mine.

Thanks Brister yes..Bobby Zlatkin's 1974 Nova..Beautiful Car!
Sometimes his picture pops up on Class Racer

Hey Al ... how are things in beautiful Eastern NC? Still have the silver Chevelle I'm sure? Did you sell the Pure Stock LT1 Firebird and if so where did it go and do you know if they are class racing it?

Hey Scott,
Weather is beautiful. Finally stopped raining and the wind laid down a little. Still have the Chevelle but i need a couple days off to finish putting it back together. It's been jacked up in the garage for a couple of years now. Pure stock Firebird got sold and the fellow parted it out and junked the body. It never got raced.

I'm having a 91 Firebird Super Stocker put together now. IT was a BIW and was raced in GT. Probably run IHRA production class and bracket race it a little. I haven't put a dial in on the window of anything in about two years now. I've got to get my priorities in order. Working too much right now.

Good to hear from you. I talked to Jeff Coronado the other day and he asked about you.

Shoot me a PM

Hello ALL;;
Bit off topic but a huge deal for us.

My older daughter Stephanie is getting Married to Jon Sexton today.

We are down at Seaside, Florida for the wee,
Took the time to visit colleges for my High School Daughter.

Jon has two boys so I become an automatic Grandad (step).
I am too young to be a grandad (62 on the 13th) but here it is.

They live in Nashville and Jon owns Boost Fitness.
Stephanie will be helping with his business.

See you all in a few days.
