I think the cam is a bit tight, so that may hold up progress till I get that corrected. Not sure how long it will take me to get this thing back together. My beautiful bride of 30 years is battling serious illness, and obviously she gets the attention she needs, this deal comes in a distant second. But this is my sanity project, helping by giving me an outlet from time to time.

10.080/10.050, Why would you not split the diff and order them all 10.065 ?
pushrod length is critical, or more critical, the higher the lift . Jesel rockers need to be no less than 1/2 turn from the rocker, and not over 1 1/2 turns out. That is only a . 040 window. If the heads or block get cut, or I choose to run my other rotating assembly, I may not be able to stay inside that 1 turn window on the adjusters.
