I am completing my 440 build that I started last year. It is a low-buck 440 for an A body.

I am preparing an order from Summit tonight:

1. Comp Cams "Pro Cam Lube". Is it acceptable for a flat tappet for initial assembly? If there is something better I would be willing to buy it. I already have a new bottle of this.

2. A high heat paint for headers?

3. Are there any real gains to be expected by going with a blocked crossover on the manifold? Mild, but not DD 440 car. I am using a S/D intake. Once again, I have the normal one, but if it will buy me a few horses I'd get one with the area blocked.

Thank you, ROB
