Soooo...  I guess I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on where I should 
go from  here. 


 
My thoughts would be first build in reliability. Have the connecting rods  
checked out for round holes and straightness. Go with the 2L clutch. No more  
than a medium cam. Check the wipe patterns on the lifters and rockers. New  
timing set. No more cylinder overbore than necessary to clean up wear. Smooth  
the 
intake and exhaust ports, including the inside of the intake manifold. Match  
the intake and exhaust ports to the manifolds. Clean the block really well. 
Pull  all the freeze plugs and the oil gallery plugs before tanking. When it 
get back  get the brush set out, a bucket of detergent and water, and brush out 
every  passage, nook and crany. Tap the ends of the oil gallery for threaded 
plugs  (allen head dry seal plugs). Check valve springs for proper tension, 
replace any  bad ones. 
 
I'm sure there will be more but I'm running out of steam.
