Wow, parked the stocker for 3 years and it's amazing how far behind I am now. I have been gathering up to date parts to put it back together and the list keeps growing.
Now I need a aftermarket block,and roller rockers, enough already.

[QUOTE=Alan Roehrich;295110]That rule changed. They removed : Aftermarket rocker arm must be identical to OEM so there is no longer a written rule saying the OEM ratio must be retained. The part listed in red above is what required the OEM ratio.

The legal rocker ratio for your combo has always been listed on the engine blueprint sheets. The VERY unclear new rule states you may now use roller rockers. Doesn't say you may now change your rocker ratio.

I think the only thing this new rule has created is more drama...................

Monte you do not need a after market block or roller rockers. You need 3 speed transmission.

I'm well aware of where the rocker arm ratio has been listed.

The new unclear rule does not say anything about your new aftermarket racing roller rocker arms being identical to the OEM rocker arms they replace, anymore, either.

Sorry if I missed it. Window nets, ribbon type, new one with a date ? If so, wonder what the market is for 3yr old ribbon ones.

Too bad the clowns in Glendora don't have an expiration date.

A more detailed explaination will be added in the future.

With the amont of sentences detailing how I can't use mouth wash in the morning or I might be booted and fined I would think that adding the words "stock mounting and stock ratio will still apply" wouldn't be too hard to have inserted in this great document..

When reading the rule book I find that if you play by what it says you are two years behind. Its what it dosen't say that is the mystery.
