Ron thanks for the additional info. My engine is bored out to 3 5/16" and it has the 4" crank and the Schneider cam and adjustable lifters. All new rings, bearings, cam bearings, and new oil pump. New timing gear, new crank gear. Drilled out for the 95% full flow oil filter I have new Offenhauser aluminum heads as well as a set of Mercury 8CM heads. I have both copper and regular head gaskets. I have a 3 deuce intake with rebuilt 97s for it but for start up I am just going to do the break in with a single 4 bbl carb.

My guides were just standard Speedway guides which I have sent them up to Gary in NY to have them bronze lined. Is this different than having them knurled?
