I am finishing up a total rebuild on my 94 LT1. I feel clueless here but when I bring it to top dead center and attempt to adjust Rocker arm the lifters are out of sequence. Should the lifters all be in the down position on
ex: 1,3,4,8 & int: 1,2,5,7 then after adjusting rotate I full revolution and do the same with ex: 2,5,6,7 & int: 3,4,6,8. I am scratching my head and would appreciate any insight.

Thanks Ron

My lifters currently are not all down. Thanks Ron

Go over it again and make sure you know which cylinder is at TDC when you adjust. Also make sure you know which are intake and exhaust. It is not rocket science, but you do have to pay close attention. It all works when done right.

I know that is the faster way to do it... If your concerned.. do each cylinder at a time .. rotate each to tdc and then adjust.. I'm kinda a newb with adjusting (only done a handfull) but I do it like this and have never messed one up.... Just my thoughts.

exhaust is the valve closest to front of motor?

This is laid out in my website info for adjusting valves.

Valve postions are the same front to back or back to front:

E - I - I - E - E - I - I - E

Thank you Shoebox. Worked perfectly and all is well.

Help me out SHOEBOX...This is what I did on my car...

It is simple if you have the intake manifold removed. When both lifters in the specific cylinder are DOWN, then you can adjust both rocker arms for that cylinder.

That is a fairly safe assumption. However, most people don't have their intake off. Plus, the method above only requires you rotate the engine to two points to make the adjustments. It is the same method that has been used since the small block came into being.
