Im not in the UK, but have your friend pick up 'Racing Engine Preperation' by Waddell Wilson on Amazon or Ebay. It was written in the 1970's to cover small block racing engines (a few years after the Big Blocks got the restrictor plates and everyone switched down). It devotes alot of energy...

Any racing machine shop with a good reputation in dry sump dirt engines can plumb your block for the oiling mods necessary and do it right (very important). Randy Dorton at Hendrick and Harold Elliott at Junior Johnsons both ran single pickups from the lifter valley on sbc's and filled all other...

In the past two years I have put together 3 sbf's for my projects that have all been mech. flat tappet cams. The procedure I use (borrowed from the Junior Johnson and Yates engine build checklists of the early 90's) coat cams and lifters in spray on graphite lubricant and let dry overnight, coat...
