One hell of a list ! I love a WELL....planned out, plan buddy.
The best thing on your list is, going with GEORGE ! Chrome, if you don't like polishing. Alum., if you don't like peeling, yellowing & chipping, especially with fuel. I don't have a problem with mech. secondaries on the street and when you hit the throttle, WAM. I like the chrome pentroof with, 427 badges covers too. Can't decide if I'll change mine out this winter or not ? Yes to the heads & George massaging them. I like the braided hoses, just need patience. I'm happy I went with the over drive (Tremec) just because of highway/interstate travel. 2,000 rpm @ 60 mph. I like my Ford 9"/Currie pumpkin, 331 gearing. I like my MSD polished distributor with Taylor wires. Left my oil pan natural, ease of cleaning & don't have to worry about road rash, scraps ect.... Don't see much of it anyway. Scatter shield same color as engine. You get detonation with 92 octane ? What is the compression & timing now ? Difference between 10:0 & 10:5, you wont notice a change anyway, good choice. You may polish the crank while you have it apart, everything else should be fine. Ask him if you should shot pinne (spelling)? the rods ect.... You can restrict the oil in the heads. I would definitely ask George to spend you hard earned labored money in the heads, do as much as you can.
Like I said pal, you've got a great plan !
What do you think you want your cam specifications to be ?
