You guys are gross. Mark you can send that coupon to whoever needs it I placed my order with the radio $10 off and that satisfied me.

Let it be a lesson. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

I learned that in 2009 when they said a 351w swap was easy and should take a weekend. You need fingers and toes to count how many years they were off

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

My old builder was like that. None of the others have been, but they are clean where they assemble.

Most likely an 8am Monday conversation:

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

Actually, it is just headers and an oil pan, lol, to do the 351/fox swap

Yea the mac swap headers that don't clear the clutch fork or the steering knuckle, swap oil pan that doesn't clear the steering rack unless you use offset bushings which puts your tie rods/ bump steer all in fuck town and you try to add spacers but the steering arm on your spindle is so close to your 15" wheels that the heim joint doesn't fit below it to get the angle in line with your a-arms so you cut up brand new spindles that they swear they never made and never sold you even though you have the receipt but the internet says you can't shorten the steering arm because it'll fuck with your Ackerman angle so you end up putting the heim joint on top of the spindle arm and when you hit a bump the steering wheel just picks a direction and you shit yourself.

Is that the swap you are referring to?
 
And another thing that pisses me off.

These lifters a 4 years old. I know this because they all have a date code is what I was told on the phone today. What day of the year they were made followed by the year.

28022
October 7th 2022 they were built.

Fuckin things sat on the shelf damn near 4 years.

However that means I should get October 2022 pricing. It's only fair

Who's the guy that sold them to you? They have probably been kicking around on his shelf for years or possibly they are counterfeit parts.

I wont say his name. But you got me searching.

These certainly didn't come from fucking Johnson like that piece of shit said they did.

They came from marine kinetics according to the label.

Holy fuck, now I'm wondering if I ever put a Cleveland in mine 😆🤣. We modified a truck 351m/400 oil pan and got headers from Kaufman products, around 35 years ago. Other than that, had some clutch issues until I got the correct flywheel for the diaphragm set up. I have a 1/4" spacer between mounts and engine
 
I tend to agree with the older lifters being better with thing getting made in China these days its something to look into
I would blow them off clean them up and put them in oil and Run them
