Chuck, as far as I know, the head and all the necessary parts are all up there.
It's all up to Chumma's schedule.

I  have a short video of the rockers actually running on the engine with the lids off, but I haven't figured out how to post it here yet. I will try again this afternoon.

Fireball #2 running with world's first Ace GP Head with high ratio roller rockers and high port in action in the real world!!!!!
Just a very short video showing the running engine with the tops open to view it. It's not an "on the road" video, but that will come later.

Yours will be like this soon too, Chuck! We are currently working out the various kinks with Rod's Fireball. :)

Is this working for anyone?

Works for me, looks and sounds sweet!
In the flesh, how do these roller rockers sound compared to out sewing machine tappets?
