I'm going out on a limb here but perhaps you should also try to be aware of the less obvious and obscure as well

good luck

I think there was a thread about this a while ago, but I can't recall if it was here or on the BDR boys forum http://backdraftboys.com/forum/

The quickest way to get info on "if it's doable" would be to contact Jay at Vintage.

Oil seems to be a concern with several people I have talked to.

I am in the middle of the CAM swap on my Boss and have the heads at a NASCAR shop for seats, seals, springs, valve job, CC and a touch up on the ports.

The Oil concern is for break in. I plan to use the Brad Pen stuff to get through the break in and then will switch back to Mobil 1.

Just a bit of info.
