With the motor oil they sell us these days I will never rebuild an engine and stick another flat tappet cam in it.
I hate headers. That is a personal preference.
Figure out your rear end gears now. If you're running 3.08s stick with a stock transmission. If you're running 3.73s or 4.11s, put a 700r4 on you list of things to do right the first time.

My budget is tight, but willing to loosen if a part or service is necessary. So I am familiar with roller cams, but unfamiliar with any other mods that need to be made on top of switching to a roller...
