Another Mopar engine question
On this 440 unfired engine I purchased, I have a question on the top end oiling. It is a 76 block and I wonder if it oils thru the rocker shaft or the pushrods. The reason I ask is that the lifters have a hole in the top as if they pump thru the pushrods. And the rockers have a squirt hole as if the pushrods lube them. The problem is , the pushrods are solid and could not lube anything. I noticed the Comp catalogue lists two different numbers for the lifters and I have another 440 that doesn't have holes in the lifters either on the side or top. I just don't want to crank this thing with mismatched parts and not be oiling the top end. Any clarification would be appreciated.
