That looks SO nice! Is that an Ld4b or a D4b?
Hey @RustyRatRod , I think he's got your idle fuel restrictors in that post office bin there. 
@dart4forte , really nice looking engine, thanks for sharing.

Kinda an update. Got the upper valvetrain on. Got new adjusters from Smith Brothers and push tods from Comp. Yesterday I lashed the valves, there’s breakin oil in the pan and today I’ll prime and check oil pressure. I’m using Maximum oil products. I’ll button up the motor this week.

Hydraulic or solid lifters? If it has hydraulics, you might ought to prime the oil pump until it fills the lifters and check the lash again. I've got Brad Penn break in oil in my 273. That stuff is green as Canadian Goose $hit! LOL
Old skool, solid dump bell lifters
My engine builder swears by the Maximum. He races Stock Eliminator and uses the stuff in his motors.
The 64 vert looks bad *** sans front bumper!
Wish I could get it back
Yeah, I know the feeling. There are a lot of cars that I've sold over the years that I wish I had back.
