Update:

New:
- BT intake
- Cam. Still solid roller, but much more streetable
- Cylinder heads/valve guides fixed
- Custom spun air cleaner top with larger 9" x 3" air cleaner, which I really needed
- Oil pan rail, which I hope will stop persistent leaking
- MSD 6530 programmable ignition box plus MAP sensor
- Open PCV set up
- Cut ignition wires to length so they are neater
- Retuned carb. Probably a bit more to do, but it is *far* easier to tune with this cam

So far, I have about 100 miles on it. A few teething problems (e.g., leaks from Gates Power Grip hose clamps - don't use them!) but everything *seems* to be good and the car is driving well. No leaks so far, except the rear main seal, which drips a little bit. The car drives great. I hope everything stays good. Here is what it looks like.
