Bruce,
I did the engine, maybe not to the same extent that you envisage, last year
when a cylinder head cracked. I did not have any experience whatsoever with
engines at all, and am still somewhat perplexed that the engine now runs as
well as it does, since I don't really comprehend what I was doing, to be
honest. I have many pictures of the project on my own web site. As well as
PAW, I can recommend Power Play Hemi, AKA Hot Head racing. Fine people,
good service, reasonable prices.
I have two pieces of advice:
1. Take lots of pictures.
2. Take more pictures. They will prove to be invaluable.
Also, take note of the push rod lengths and the note the large variety in
length of the bolts holding on the inlet manifold. Number them as you
remove them, and draw a "map" to show where each goes.
Why are you doing this project, by the way? Surely not for grins. Just
wondering.
Hugh
