When you regrind a camshaft, the lifter will sit lower in the bore, and the original lifters are marginally short as is. If you try to get close to .500" lift, you may find the lifters will want to cock sideways and ruin your day. Just a caution. A regrind with minimal metal removal would be different, but to regrind for lift and then regrind the lifter face, you have made the problem more likely to surface. Just my cautionary advice. I went with Trend tool steel lifters +.100" longer when I use a custom camshaft with over .550" lift. Joe-JDC

I was pretty conservative with the porting-took my time, looked at lots of photos (including John Mummert's cutaway views), and did a lot of reading as well. However, I'm a long-time believer in Murphy's Law. I'll be celebrating my 70th birthday (maybe "celebrating" isn't the best choice of words) next month. It's a little late in life to start being optimistic. Interesting how attitudes change with aging. Along with ‘Murphy’s Law’. as I near 80, I’ve also embraced the ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ philosophy. Back in my ‘nit-picking’ days (when I didn’t have more projects than I could finish), I bought all the tools and CC matched a set of G heads. Since I already had the equipment, I considered doing some porting also, but since I wasn’t building a race motor, the thought of ruining all my previous work dissuaded me.
