Are the bearings standard or undersized for a regrind? Buy some second hand micrometers off of ebay so you can take some basic measurements.

I purchased Hedman Huslers for an abody. They have w2 flange headers too, right?

Easy. W2 all day long, as long as you have line of sight on a good set of heads, know someone knowledgeable who can port them, and understand they require special rocker gear and headers. All this stuff is easy enough to find, most can be bought off the shelf. Gotta pay to play in the W-series...

And when you have to come to a sudden stop you realize the brakes could use some help, too.

My wife's corolla 4 banger gets around just fine in traffic. Based on this evidence, I'd say you really have to have a 408 or larger, just to ensure your safety. Hope this helps!

Ohh I'm not worried at all. Good luck. Cam and lifters just looked bone dry in that image. When I install a cam there's no mistaking it. You'll see the lube gooping up everywhere on the can and lifters.

Hope you globbed more cam lube on it than I see there. If not pull the intake while it's still easy. A wiped cam will mean takie it all back apart. Edit: did you apply break in line to the cam at all? Looks dry. If it has no break in oil on thw lifters your really ought to pull the lifters and...

Yep, let's put a tiny threaded connection into a very high cyclical load application that's sure to work wonderfully. (Sarcasm)

The factory designed these as reliable passenger car transportation. They weren't designed to have adjustable preload. The lifter successfully took up the differences in tolerances from one engine to the next. Those same lifters are more than capable of doing the same thing with a bigger cam...

Can you do a little write up on the details of the can sensor please? Ohh yeah I just noticed this is ancient. He does list the sensor so I'm sure I could figure it out if need be.

Basically what you're saying is you've never properly built an engine. The few engines I've built are in the opposite end. I've scrutinized every detail. Hughes has instructions on how to set all this stuff up the right way. It involves setting the proper wiping path across the valve face using...

Lol New guy shows up and drops a match into a barrel of dynamite. Hilarity ensues New guy wonders what just happened and mistakes it for us trying to be "helpful" Lol

Definitely a truck motor. Did it tow well? :poke:

There's a solid reason flow numbers sell heads, isn't there?

People result to attacking the opposition rather than the argument when they're losing an argument. When someone attacks the person making an argument instead of addressing the argument itself, this is called an "ad hominem" fallacy. Just because someone has or hasn't done something doesn't...
