Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[Steve439]

I'll add that the sweep seems a little wide so maybe going the 7.70" would tame that a bit

Say... how about a 7.725?

If it's not centered already try to have it favor the inboard side a bit

I bought 12" calipers to test if I needed new pushrod length.

Old pushrods 7.75
New setup is .030 shorter lifter cup height (7.720 pushrod would be ideal)

A) buy 7.70" and send it.
B) buy 7.75" and send it.

I need to buy a complete set regardless as trick flow doesn't sell these as singles and I don't do simple shit like buy a different manufacturer and mix em

I thought they were available in .025 increments. Maybe different manufacturers have different lengths.........

That's the way Trend do it and I believe they private label for a lot of the big names. Foxy should be able to get 7.725" off the shelf.

Yep, the good Comp Cams ones were made by Trend at one point, I don't know if they still are.

Fox, don't forget "RADIO" when you order from Summit, if you don't have a 10% off code.

Fuck me I don't know how I missed it trick flow makes 7.725" pushrods. in stock.

Worked perfectly thanks for the 10 off.
pushrods are on order, jomar filters on order, I'll call Johnson tomorrow and hopefully they don't suck.

Smith bros are awesome custom pushrods if you ever need them and reasonably priced.
Did you order the jomar filters from jomar?

Yes but their pricing is retarded

 

[BOSS#1540]

Yes but their pricing is retarded

I used to go half on a case with my brother to get the cost down. If it saves your rotating assembly it's worth it

 

[89 Fox 427]

I bought 3-2-1 blocks off Amazon.

They showed up well oiled and wrapped in kraft paper.

They were 1.5% of the cost of made in USA Johnson lifters and yet packaged much more reasonably.

Have a good Monday, assholes

"I haven't seen your email yet but I heard about it. Let me look into it and I'll call you back"

Most likely an 8am Monday conversation:

"Dude you guys gotta see this vagina bitching about a couple pieces of cardboard dust on his lifters. "

Fuck That! Everybody always talks about engine assembly and the level of cleanliness needing to be near surgical standards, well those lifters barely pass Waffle House cleanliness standards. Fuck their 8AM coffee conversation.

 

[Torque Command]

I always thought the same thing until I started watching Sloppy Mechanics on YouTube.
He'd rebuild engines with used parts on the garage floor and make 800 to the tire. He jokingly called it his "clean room"

 

[Mark D.]

If you saw my engine builders clean room you would consent to having your gall bladder removed there.

Doing it for customers for $ demands different conditions than hammering something together for yourself. Explaining the blowup demands you did it perfectly. Just getting a winlight for yourself means you can let shit slide as long as it works, only YOU need to deal with the consequences, not a customer.
Those lifters need to be replaced, that's unacceptable, let them blow the dirt off and put them in their own cars.

Yep that’s why I pay. I know my limitations and I expect my stuff to be right .

Radio was only gonna get me 10$ not 10%

 

[89 Fox 427]

Johnson called me back. They only pretended to give half a fuck.

I need the date code on the lifters, date of purchase, proof of purchase, pictures of the box, delivery receipt..

They asked who I ordered them from then told me they've never heard of the place.

Don't worry, I fucked myself by paying the guy with PayPal friends so I have no proof of purchase. He actually told me from the beginning he doesn't usually just sell parts, but Johnson lifters he would because he knows the guys. I'm all for paying cash and letting businesses keep money in their pockets if they choose. Well, now all I hear is crickets.

Every one of the parts salesman in this industry are slimy pieces of fuck

I have a few more codes if he needs it.Saving him one.
