Guys you have given me some sound advice, thank you...
my next question is concerning the lifters, I need a set for the 340 and with all the talk about subpar lifters they are selling these days would you recommend that i place a wanted ad for used lifters and then have them re-faced?
melling makes good stuff and what i've been using. morel is another choice for a top quality lifter and their price reflects that. enginetech is another company that offers quality at a good price point.
