    toploader interchange

    One last option, re-tip the input shaft. Ive done this a few times on them big spline shafts to fit my small block. A good re-tip will outlast the rest of the input shaft. Cost me about bewtween 50-100 for a re-tip.

    Clearance Issues

    It may or may not clear. its gonna be up to you to check ptv and to degree the cam in. I personally havent used a 2.02 valve on a stock piston but have had clearance problems with a 1.60 exhaust valve on a stock replacement 5.0 piston. It was a radius problem that was fixed with minor piston...

    eagle rods vs. manley? VT engine

    Either will work the same. I have eagles in my 99 and in my stroker pushrod engine. I didnt buy manleys because they were more expensive and didnt have bolt upgrades at the time and its the bolt that will fail before the rod. Manley does have nice billet rods.

    Is there a difference between the 99-00 GT Intake Manifold from the 01-04?

    they are differnt, but they fit the same and probably work the same. the bottom of intake is narrower and deeper on the 99-00 intake.. Not too sure about the recall 99-00 intakes.

But beside all that if you still have a stock radiator, fan, shround and your car only gets hot at idle and heat soaks at...

    How do you know what size pushrods to use?

    With the valves closed the roller tip should be before the valve tip center, when the rocker pushes the valve the roller will go to and pass the valve tip center and then back as the valve closes. You want a pushrod that places the roller tip so it travels the same distance before and after the...
