I am building a stock 32 V8 engine with the steel cam. I have an all new 8BA valve train I could use with old Johnson lifters or NOS 32-48 lifters. I am worried about the steel lifters on the steel cam but also about using the 32-48 lifters with the smaller stem 8BA valves. I would some real world experience as I don't want to do something wrong. I also have NOS stock 32-48 valve parts. The guides I have are oversize and won't go in the bores. I can get suitable guides and have it all stock. HELP!

I have a 59AB with 51 valves and Johnson lifters running fine for over 5 years. But I remember someone (perhaps in Fordbarn) advising me to get the lifters "recrowned". I did this somewhere out west. I was waiting for an engine expert here to give his opinion. Perhaps ask your question on Fordbarn.com

I do not take the magazine anymore. Could someone post the info?
