Must be NICE!!

I have purchased a bore gauge, but I'm still looking for the right set of mechanical digital micrometers to purchase that will allow me to measure both the shaft, and the bearing bore to figure true clearances.

Sounds like you've got it VERY under control!

Desktop dyno 2000 with the cam disc is worth the investment in my opinion.

FOR SURE look at the MM&FF article I beleive this month and next they are going through a dozen sets of heads with other things being equal.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but invest in a billet oil pump drive shaft and make sure you have the right distributor gear for your cam.... a friend just went through the painful process of tearing down a new engine and replacing the cam and dist gear....
OUCH!
