Default dunno what to do

well i've been thinkin lately, my short block will be coming pretty soon. i'm gonna get a cam, probably just something mild nothing to extreme. so what i'm thinkin, is since i'm broke, i'm just gonna take my e7's and clean em up a little, get a valve job, seals, guides, the whole deal and put em on my 331 stroker until i can afford another set. what do you guys think?

do you think i should wait or just get the engine built and in the car so i can break it in and drive it a little bit?

to need to have these clearance checked. then go with the biggest you can use. or the best one for your setup anyways.
