For cold start, I always added .002 to the hot lash spec on a small block. Amazing how often they ended up being spot on hot. How much longer are the pushrods on the BB? I would think you would be safe at .003.

Thanks Lynn, that was my thinking too. Minimum .002, max .004. Been 51 years since I had a solid lifter cam and did this.
A guy in the Chevelle Club has this and we are descending on his home/shop today as a club tech/work/learning session and should be interesting. About half of the members, including the owner, weren't born yet when this engine was made. Then there's us "seasoned veterans" that still have point files, feeler gauges and dwell meters...
