Foxy Green Foxbody Build

Looks like "lint" from a cardboard box.

Seems like you'd want to clean them anyway. Onward and upward.
 
Not gonna lie, that would seriously piss me off.

It's the little things.

I would be respectful about it at first, depending on how they respond, but I would definitely say something about that..

For that kind of money they should come lightly oiled, in a sealed box, surrounded by closed cell foam.

Double the price of my last set of lifters. Now I wait to hear from them until Monday. It never ends.
 
I'm wondering if that aftermarket block was sent out the factory door as a rough finish on the lifter bores, intended to be finished honed by the end user. Aftermarket blocks usually come with paperwork describing the oil system, etc.

This is exactly what I believe to be true. I think dart sends them out at .8730. Oem is .8750
 
The bores were definitely honed. Cross hatch pattern on them. I originally bought Morel lifters with the shortblock and I was told they were noisy so I was talked out of them.

They may very well have honed them to fit the morels.
 
I don't know if yall know this, but TBI 350s make a solid 185 horse to the tire.

They are impressive, to say the least...

Hard to wear one out at that power level.

Well I understand it wasn't running right, but the thing wouldn't break the tires loose. Maybe it's running on a few cylinders

Or you need shittier tires, honestly.

Years ago I out some sticky ass tires on the wifeys TA and was able to pull the wheels from a traffic light! I was expecting to lay a few hundred feet of rubber, man that got my attention FAST!

Should be on ice skates, even with a stock five oh.


One thing at a time. Figure out the lifters, move onrward.



If it makes you feel any better, I just spent 5k on a dodge 1 ton rear diff that was supposed to be bolt on and go.

Until I pulled the cover off and seen rusty as fuck ring and pinion.

Nobody cares, as long as the payment processed...

That lifter shit would've pissed me off, yeah they will clean up, but it's the principle.
 
I think I have purchased 5 sets of lifters from Crower so far, they are packed in the same kind of cardboard box. Not once did I ever have to clean them. It would have been easy enough since they are solid rollers. When I get titanium retainers from PAC they pack them in a nice soft foam, none of them can touch each other, I was always impressed. But damn, for the cost of them they should pack them nicely!

My retainers were in a zip lock bag directly from promaxx heads. Locks in the same bag. I could not fucking believe that shit either
