Good to see it's all happening.

Have you ordered the correct valve springs for the cam as your haven't put it on your list. Just a thought.

Si, do those heads include adjustable rocker assembly, it might not need it as the cam is very mild especially in a 400+ci stroker motor, but you may still need the adjustabillity to get the correct valve train alignment.

Woohoo Si, lookin good. Bet you can't wait to get that lot bolted on. Same deal for me with leaf springs, rather than replace I just had them retempered.

What is in that bottom box though?

Did you end up getting adjustable rockers? I've got procomp rockers for my stroker, not tested yet but I've heard bad things about them. :(
