so i was looking at my 340 block today and wondering why on earth did
they make the lifters pointing down instead of  a straight attack  at
the rocker arms. This creates an angle between the lifter and the
pushrod, doesnt seem too efficient. I believe the new R3 race blocks
have corrected this.
   the only  idea i can come up with is they were trying to locate the
   cam higher up in the block ( for some reason). But it seems like a
   not so efficient idea, seems like it would create  a bit more
   friction  with that angle in there.
   I was  just so upset by this discovery i took my 340 block out to the
   lake  and kicked it off the tailgate of my truck!
