Shes pretty but that gas tank aint

So as my fellow MM80 frame ppl all know, the predator 212 is an ass to fit into the frame (at least modded, no troubles stock in the past. Ive dented the absolute fuk out of every side for a different reason. First to fit in the frame with the gps riser, now with venting, looks like shii. So.. I want one of those circular tube 5 x 12 gas usually on gts's but I dont think they fit. There about $150 (could look around for cheaper) so im not going to buy it and find out. Has anyone here bought one of these style tanks for their mm80 or should i keep denting. Idk

What tha fuc could have caused this.

Opened the ol predator 212. Lil surprise. I swear I checked the first time I built it twice. Could valve float have caused this? It dont make sense that it could skip. Pushing a lil hp so maybe block flex? Idk, am I jus tarded.

Plan to go with

315 Grind tool steel cam

Pauls karts 32/28 welded intake and 5 angle seats head

28mm pwk

The head comes with 37lb red stripes or 60lb duals (so probably getting 40-45 duals elsewhere )

Crome moly 1/4in pushrods based on grinding stock pushrod to lengh

Hardened lifters (dont know if i should get stock length or a lil longer for high lift.

ARC head studs

Any thing im forgetting?

This may have been asked 1000 times but I can't find a clear answer. Have a 275 cam with stock head and want to put 1.3 ratio rockers on it. Worried about ether cam to rod clearance (heard that may only apply to stroker cranks) or valve to piston clearance (i think i should be more worried about that). 1.3 rockers put me at 358 lift (yikes) but 1.2 rockers put me at 330 lift.

I don't want to get 1.2s when I could have got 1.3s (but don't want it to be opposite and come to find el piston eats el valve. Help appreciated.

So non hemi valves are vertical; staight into the head. Hemis are at an angle so i think it would be easier to to on a hemi. Anyhow. I have a predator 212 non hemi with +0.40 rod and 0.550 flat top piston. I want to throw in a 315 grind tool steel cam, Level 2 Shredder head, 36lb springs shimmed to 41lb, and 1.3 roller rockers. Only problem (I think) is going to be valve reliefs in piston. Cause I was looking more forward to buying a piston with drilled valve reliefs. But haven't seen any. I think ill mess something up if I do it but will if need be. Is this something I'll to get custom made? And if so does anyone know any sites that do it?

Trying to see what my options are for predator 212 exhausts that don't hurt performance too much cause as of looking, my options are slim. So. Predator 212,( billet rod and flywheel, flat top piston, 24mm nibbi, Brown box 275 cam, 1.0 to 1 champion rockers, cromoly pushrods, 26 lb springs and upgraded retainers). My idea is i want all the flow i can get, (neighbors dont want that) so would this be something id have to get custom cause all the ones i see have a shitton of baffling in it. But what other wat is there too reduce sound. Idk people's, insight appreciated.
