was installed straight up...stock timing chain & sprockets
I gave Niel my notching tool...& he took a few thous out of the valve reliefs on the intake side
the exhaust valve was ok as I recall...he also installed a nice new set of Comp springs

My B Cam has no issues with the 1.7 rockers, although I used the hand grenade method of testing it. I've spun it to the rev limiter with no problems, lol.
i would get rid of the 1.7s and go with 1.6 stud mounts when going outside a stock cam. 1.7s are only good for bumping up a stock cam, too much strain on valve train. If you want more lift out of another cam, you have the wrong cam lol. My opinion though
I had them, that's why I used them. In fact, the only "regular" rockers I have are stockers.
Raises hand, also a fan of stock ratio rockers for that same reason.
When I put this motor together it was from parts I got from someone else that recommended them (and sold them to me) this was my first Ford 302 I ever build. Many a small block chevy, but no 302's. I'd pick my parts much differently with what I know now, but my car is performing in a way that makes me happy so I'm not worried for now. I do need to just pull the intake and properly shim those rockers and put all the new pushrods/gaskets in so it stops ticking.
Got pinched driving with no registration yesterday, $110 ride, wake up call too. Time to finish my current engine so I can get it through drive clean.
Stock cams work great....even better when boosted and retarted 6-8 degrees............
It all depends what your goal is............
E cams work great as well......
Ive made good power with both.........
why retard it?...(intake early exhaust late?) correct?
& what power adder...turbo or SC?
& what about the venerable "F" cam?
curious on your thoughts...thanks
