I am wondering what to order for valve lifters? Should I get adjustable lifters?
Where is the best place to buy the valve parts from, guilds, lifters, ect...

Now's the time to use bronze-lined guides, they help keep the valves from "hanging/sticking" during longer periods of storage.
We use only the original "Johnson" tappets, SBI stainless valves, and most times Ross pistons. The Ross piston/moly-ring pkge allows for some extra HP.
We do use the OEM style 4-ring pistons on occasion but rarely.
You may want to consider a stroker kit, not sure about your budget??

P.S. The guides get lined, machined for seals, and we use the new "Viton" valve stem seals. This is all part of a pkge including 16 new guide locks (the horseshoe guide retainers), new seals, and a new set valve locks.
