Great write up thank you for taking the time to explain all this. I think I understand most of it. BTW the engine is in the car. I did have it running for a short time. I putt 3:55 gears in the rear. I am trying to get some incremental improvements prior to a complete rebuild. I know at some point I will need to do this but it mostly a money issue. If I had lots of money I would rebuild it with aluminum heads and a stroker kit. I just want to try and drive it for just a little while I save up for a rebuild or get lucky and make it workable for a little while.
