I will regret it once my wife starts removing my skin. I think I'm good for now. <g>

I still have rocker studs, head studs, push rods and a stud girdle to buy, not to mention all the gaskets, etc.

I dont know what your old heads were like but, those Darts should piss it off good and proper.

Even with a blower, good heads are worth the money.

Yep. And rob clued me into using a pushrod checker. I did it the hard way last time, testing with the adjustable length pushrods, eyeballing the geometry and doing some kentucky long division to get the correct lengths.

I cut 2 stock pushrods in half and used thread all and some nuts to make pushrod chechers.
