This is one reason you would need longer push rods.

He means a lot of stroke on the crank. Small Bases are normally seen in stroker motors where the smaller lobes are need'd for clearance issues.

Looks good mrr23! Maybe I could get my custom ordered if the shop would ever get off their butts and do my machine work. They've had my stuff for almost 6 months now!

Yep, Comp Cams quoted me around 300 bucks for a custom solid roller acouple months back. Then you're looking to spend 350 to 400 for the comp cams solid rollers for small bases (891-16).
