be honest with ya i dont remember i dont have no paper work on it yet. But they dont have the head yet i was goin to completely take it apart but my neighbor seems to think it a better idea for the machine shop to do that and spec all the springs and lifters an the cam

So talked to the machine shop they said its the same price either way i give them the head so ill give it to them with everything in it. While at this stage think its worth replacing all the valves,springs,retainers and rockers? Maybe go with somthing a little bigger on the valves speaking that the head will be ported along with the upper and lower intake and exhaust header.

If you going to upgrade the cam, get port work and get a roller cam then yes it's worth it.

So is there any recomended combo? I wana be able to drive it from day to day and able to drive to shows up to 300miles away. Some reason i thought the stock cam was a roller cam? theres just so much out there as far as roller cams,lifters,rocker arms, valves and springs
