George can you expand on the pro's and con's of solid vs. hydraulic flat tappet's lifters and what to choose. For instance I've seen lifters with holes in the lifter surface that meets the cam face...the hole delivers oil to the cam surface to improve longevity. Does that have any negative effect on the Cleveland oiling system? ...
Tom, that's a fairly simple choice with a Pantera because adjusting lash in a Pantera is akin to sleeping on a bed of nails. Its not something you want to do unless you are going serious racing. So stay with the juice cam, flat or roller. Hydraulic flat lifters don't have EDM holes, as far as I know, that's a solid flat lifter trick. Perhaps a new thread about selecting a juice cam is in order????? Hint, hint.

... I'm building myself a race pantera at the moment. Last summer I bought a Pantera with a 500 + RWHP with nascar spec's and MSD ignition in the US and I also bought an empty shell. My plan was to transfer the engine into the shell but what's your opinion on that ? If you would like to have some more information about the engine, I can give you all the spec's ....

Carlo, welcome again to the forums, I'm happy to see you posting. Please start a new thread about your engine, so Arno's thread can remain focused on his engine. Thanks.
