Gary,
I think you're right about he solid roller cams. No more time than we put on these motors, adjustments shouldn't be an issue.

What do you think about idle? Hydraulic vs. solid. I want to idle in the 800 RPM range. I don't care if it's rough.

Also, I may need the HP increase due to the fact that we had to scrap the 1" spacer under carb. (a 5-15 HP loss) and cut 13/16" out of the motor mounts for hood clearance. This lead to trimming the Canton pan and pick-up 1/2"

Do you think I might could get with you and Drew to get some final measurements on top end hardware? (I think Drew's has almost the same equipment on top.)
