Got the cam and lifters broke-in yesterday ... everything went well, engine started right up and I kept it at a high idle for 20 minutes.
I did use Mr. Gasket shim steel head gaskets so I'm guessing I will need to go back and re-torque the heads after a couple more heat and cool cycles - but I will check with Mr. Gasket techs - then I will re-run the valve lash.
I'm going to have to get an appointment at the muffler shop to get the new pipes from the cast iron exhaust manifolds connected to the pipes that had gone to the headers that were on the car.
I might make a car out of this thing yet ... lol
