Ask around about your choice of oil pan. I don't think seven quarts of oil will keep it happy, especially on decal after the run. I had trouble with 6800 rpm and 9.5 quarts, uncovering the oil pickup and seeing very low or zero pressure for an instant on the brakes.
Ill look into finding a different pan thanks for the warning, i really wasnt sure what would fit in my little valiant theres not alot of documentation out there on the web about putting a big block in a 62 valiant.
The Indy manifold,especially the 4500 manifold should have the dividers removed from the area below the carb or at best tapered from the top to the floor.This will allow for a better plenum box for fuel and air to blend and give a more balanced blending and evenly distributiation to all cylinders.If you run it as is the four corner cylinders(1,2,7,8) will always be richer.
Bob i can see what your saying about the dividers need some work,you wouldnt happen to have a pic of the work your talking about? Im curious to see just how much material to remove, i had planned on bring the dividers to a nice sharp edge(knife edge) but apparently thats not what i need.
I was able to put 2 hours into gasket matching my intake this morning and was able to get three ports on the runner side cleaned up, i figure ill have atleast 6 hours of cleanup when its all said and done.
Thanks all for the help
