Dart 205 milling question
Dart 205 milling question im buying some dart 205's off someone locally and need to know a few things before i do the install.
i currently have a Futral F4 cam (224/226 .574/.578 113lsa), the heads have been milled .045 and i would be using a stock thickness head gasket. my questions are
1) will i have PTV clearence issues with this?
2)will i need to use a thicker head gasket?
3) will i be ok with stock lifters and rockers?
4) what length pushrod?
some of these i may not get an answer for and so im gonna clay the motor to be 10000000% positive before i button it up

I do not know if this will help you any, but my heads are milled around 30 thou and I am running them with cometic gaskets. I have used this same setup in my 346 with the F14 cam and am currently running the setup with a bigger Futral cam in my 383. With a stock gasket I am sure it should clear fine.
ok, the guy i am getting them from had them on his 5.3L truck and didnt have any issues so i didnt know if there was a difference in the engines like quench etc. are you running dart heads? cause with the cometic being .015 thinner and you being milled .030 that would be the same as me being milled .045 and running stock HG.
