So in the need for me to get the car running sooner rather than later, I have stock piled parts like valve springs, oil pump gears, cam shafts etc. The intent is to get the car running and tuned then focus on some of the other jobs.
To help with me doing things in a modular fashion, I've gone down the component unit swap path
Will build the head up with cams, valve springs etc (all standard spec on valves), then when timing is right will do a complete head swap and while that is off complete HD chain, Tensioner, Oil Pump gears, head/main studs and crank girdle.
