My '75 Scamp 383 Build
Well, since last update, I've managed to get the Comp Cams XE262H cam installed - and discovered how Tight it felt when turned. Here's the story Camshaft Install - how tight is too tight?
I followed some great Old School method of scraping/shaving the bearings for smoother camshaft turning. Using my old Camshaft...
This worked VERY well.
Rear Main Seal sticky on FBBO was very helpful. I was directed there after creating This thread over there.
SCE Gasket rear main seal
I'm meeting one of my goals at least - I'm learning a whole lot!
Camshaft and Crankshaft are in!
And just today 9/1/19, I discovered that the dowel on the Cam needed a brass punch!
Not easy to tell, but the dowel prevented the cam bolt and washer to make full contact.
Solved and help was provided once again over on FBBO.

Slow and steady progress, with a learning curve! :thankyou:
