ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT PRO-SERIES™ ROLLER LIFTERS FROM CRANE
Crane's new ultra-lightweight Pro-Series™ roller lifters significantly reduce valve train weight, paying big dividends in extended RPM capability and added life for related valve train components. Made from precision CNC-machined 8620 alloy steel, these CAD-designed roller lifters are the strongest and lightest of their type on the market today. They are heat-treated in-house by Crane Cams to provide extra strength and wear resistance.


Engineered for use in high RPM competition applications, Crane's race-proven horizontal guide bar system is the most reliable available. What's more, its spring-loaded design allows easy camshaft changes. Made for a standard .842" lifter bore diameter, Crane Pro-Series Race Roller Lifters are available for 1957-87 Chevrolet small blocks (262-400 c.i.d.), part number 11528-16 and for 1967-96 Mark IV big blocks (396-454 c.i.d.), by ordering p/n 13528-16.

NOS INTRODUCES FUEL INJECTORS

Taking into consideration NOS's 20-plus years background in delivering carefully metered amounts of nitrous and gasoline to high performance engines, as well as the fuel systems expertise of new parent, Holley Performance, it was only natural that they should collaborate to introduce a new line of precision fuel injectors.

These highly efficient Bosch-style fuel injectors come in a dozen different models, with flow rates from 14 lbs. per hour (147cc) to 95 lbs. per hour (almost 1000cc's). Use of improved-flow NOS fuel injectors will enable performance enthusiasts to upgrade their fuel systems to support power levels from 250 to 1600 horsepower.

On the most modified E.F.I. engines, high flow fuel injectors are often the "missing link" to achieve optimum performance. Engine enhancements such as headers, more aggressive camshafts, high flow throttle bodies, etc. typically increase the need for more fuel-something that high performance fuel pumps alone cannot provide. NOS fuel injectors are the perfect compliments to most any modified E.F.I. engine.

NOS fuel injectors are now available for most popular late model 4,6 and 8-cylinder applications. Racers should note that NOS fuel injectors are included in Holley Performance's massive corporate contingency awards program with NHRA.

NEW 3/8" RADIUS 1-PIECE 4130 PUSHRODS FROM MANLEY
Keeping pace with the latest in valve train technology, Manley Performance has developed a new lightweight .060" wall and heavy-duty .080" wall 3/8" diameter 1-piece pushrod with a 3/8" radius to work with Chevy SB2 and Ford 18 ° Yates heads, as well as Jesel shaft rocker systems with 3/8" radius adjusters.

Made from 4130 chrome moly material, these swedged-end pushrods are exceptionally concentric, and feature carefully controlled lengths. The .060" wall pushrods come in a variety of sizes from 7.850" to 9.200" (in increments of .050" for popular lengths), while the .080" versions come in .025" increments all the way from 8.500" to 9.200".

After the 3/8" radii have been meticulously formed, each pushrod is heat-treated and black oxide finished for extra durability. They are sold in sets of eight.

SUPER STRONG 11" MODULAR REAR ENDS AVAILABLE FROM M-W
Mark Williams Enterprises has developed a new heavy-duty modular rear end assembly for drag racing vehicles with 1500 or more horsepower. Featuring a custom 11" ring and pinion gearset designed and manufactured exclusively for M-W by Richmond Gear, the unit is ideally suited to Pro Mod, Nitro Coupe, Pro Street and blown alcohol applications. Rear end ratios of 2.91, 3.89, 4.10, 4.29 and 4.57 are initially offered.

Available for both solid-mount and 4-link suspensions, M-W's full-floater setups feature a series of CNC-machined brackets and end bells to accommodate virtually any existing suspension. The unit has been designed with a hypoid similar to the 9" Ford, so that racers can convert to the new 11" setup, while retaining the same floater end bells, axles, etc. Suspension brackets, etc. can easily be adapted from M-W's 9" Ford housings to the new 11" unit.

The center sections are cast from a tough aircraft alloy aluminum that has been proven effective in M-W's popular modular housings for 9" Ford and 12-bolt Chevy applications. It is precision CNC-machined to assure optimum alignment of all internal components.
