I bet it's going to run hot with a 180-190° thermostat, a smaller fan and that radiator. Your temperature sender really needs to be in the intake up stream of the thermostat. A shroud will help alot and a thinner fan spacer, generally a 1" minimum gap between the fan blades and the radiator is...
If you run a set of eagle or scat rods they will certainly be lighter than the factory rods so you will have to tale weight off of the crank not add to it i would say a capable shop could do it pretty cheap a good balance job is a must in any new build in my opinion. I personally have scat I...
Generally you will set them while on the base of the can lobe. Turn the pushrod and tighten the adjuster until you feel some tention while turning the push rod then turn the adjuster 1- 1 1/4 turns. That is usually about .030 I had the same exact set up in my engine all Hughes stuff
I personally haven't ran any but I've installed them on some buddies cars fords and Chevy small blocks with mildish cams they haven't had any trouble out of them yet and the ford sees regular abuse just inspect them any that may be subject just send them back I've heard proform/ speedmaster have...

I ordered a new harness like that too it should have in the paper work what each wire is for. Some wires may not be used depending on how your car was optioned if you have extra wires that serve no purposes de-term them from your bulkhead
OK everybody chill. Yes 6k is an outrageous number. The tech knows that too. Why is he asking that much? What all went into that 60 he's of work? There is more to this story than you (the op) is telling us I know some shops will sometimes try to squeak a few hours here and there by a costumer...
I ran a HV oil pump with a stock pan for a long long time 7800 rpm through the traps never lost any oil pressure I would pour an extra quart in it when I changed the oil. A lot of people claim that the extra oil ads extra windage that brings a loss of power , and that may be so but a bearing...
They are a fine and dandy head for a stockish build but I wouldn't expect any real power come on guys let's call it what it is they are smog heads never had any intent on supporting power they were designed for fuel efficiency and lowered emissions
