JESEL Dog Bone Roller Lifters. The lifter alignment plates bolt right to the block. Best lifter you can buy hands down.

It's going to be a little over 360ci. The original parts I bought were going to measure out at 331ci, but I sold the original crank and bought a nicer piece with a longer stroke to get a few more cubes out of the combination.

I'm building this car to run any of the 275 radial classes. Sunshine has one in their Heads-Up Madness program called Real Street. I will be racing the ORSCA series in either the Modified Street or Easy Street class, depending on the car when its done.

Well like Tommy said, its a lot and I would have to really think about it to give you a accurate number....Boss block, Jesel lifters, Venolia rods/pistons, Bryant crank, Danny Bee belt drive, Cam Motion cam, machine work, ect.....Well over 10 grand easy.

I couldn't get the heads on today as I wanted because I forgot we needed to finish welding up the manifolds as they were tacked only, the welder ran out of gas so tomorrow we can get back on it and hopfully be able to get the heads on, measure pushrods and get them orderd, and get the crank trigger on.
