Re: 400 Heads

[Joey <jake4@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To be sure, bolt the head on one side before you spend money on the valve 
job, install rocker gear and roll engine over by hand, you are planning on 
pulling the existing heads anyway. The valve lift of your current camshaft 
shouldn't cause any problems there. To make up for lost compression use 
steel shim gasket they came with as opposed to Fel-Pro blue which I think is 
.043 compressed.

P.S. I have a real mild Crower hydraulic cam for sale if anyone is 
interested, it's still in the box, I will make someone a heck of a deal.
