I just got to my job in St. Louis for the summer so I'll be slaving away on my code until the beginning of august. All I need by the time I get back is a comprehensive plan for the machine work I need to have done.

My plan is...
Cut head for larger valves, install valve seats, install valve guides
Pull old rockers, mill boss down to install 7/16" screw-in studs, tap hole and install new studs
Probably tell them to install the lump kit
Remove old rod bolts, press in new ARP bolts, re-round and shot peen rods
Press on new forged pistons to rods
Magnaflux block, bore .040" over and hone for the new pistons.

Then at that point I'll get them to cc my heads and I'll talk with them about figuring out how much I need to deck the block to achieve my desired compression and/or open up the combustion chamber and/or notch the pistons. Then I'll confer with you guys and go from there.

69 Buick Special Deluxe. Intercooled Turbo Chevy 250 @ 15psi on a stock long block. It's kinda fast.
