Will post some more pics later, but got the springs sorted out, heads reassembled, head gaskets on, and heads bolted on/torqued.

New Comp lifters are in-house, as well as the new lifter spider. The Dart blocks are all cast taller in the lifter bore area to use the factory Ford roller cam setups. The short travel Comp lifters are only available in OEM style and I think they are a little lighter than the link bar stuff, so I went that route.

New cam specs are:

240/244 @ .050", 112 LSA, installed on a 108 ICL. Lift is .625/.634". Valve springs checked at a hair over 150 lbs seat, and 400 lbs open.

I've got a few engines that I'm working on concurrently, but my plan is to get Mat's engine supplied with lifters, the lifter spider, rocker geometry checked, guideplates sealed/torqued, and the intake fitment checked by tomorrow.

Waiting on Peterson's dry sump mandrel to show up and then I can take some measurements for the dry sump pump shaft for Mat and get the front end buttoned up.
