You don't have to worry about me trying to buy the TP under you!
I don't believe I will be buying anything else anytime soon.
I have the major components, I don't need to call Dove. Not yet anyway. I just need to decide on Harland Sharpe or Dove rocker arms.Most anythng else is already are here.

If my engine will idle at 1000 RPM I can live with that. I now have to talk to few others about solid vs. hydraulic lifters.

I too would love to have had a SOHC. I just don't want to sell the car to afford the engine. When I am done I would still need to buy another car. There wouldn't be a point to it.

Good luck to you too. I am sure we have many who will be laughing their butts at both of us, for what we are trying to do. They may very well be right in their amusement.
