.609 lift on 918 springs? 218/229 .560 .560 113 on 1.7s
1.85 rockers came on the car when I bought it. I don't have the stock 1.7s to swap out. Would pushing the 918s to .609 lift be an unwise decision?
TIA

I believe it will give you a faster ramp rate, that being the case, very unwise for any period of time, or high rpm. Could you drive it normal and not rev etc.. I imagine you could. Could vs. New bottom end buildup unplanned = not good.
I wouldnt do it.

Yup. I have 1 or 2 sets of stock pushrods and 1 set of hardened comp pushrods.
I'll get the rockers boxed up this weekend and I'll send them out. Shouldn't be too much in the way of shipping. UPS ground from KC to STL is cheap and fast.

If I have two sets of stock pushrods, I'll throw them in as well. Not sure on that, though. I'm going to start building up the stock shortblock I have for another project. As long as I have enough parts to complete that motor, I'm ok.
I wish I hadn't sold my stock heads.
