Good stuff guys. Engine and tranny together then (they sure are easy to mate when they're off the vehicle).
Guess I'm just chicken about the pulling apart the valvetrain -- never had one apart and don't want to mix it up/have it fly to bits on me. I've seen my cousin do it on an sbc -- punch holes in a shoebox, number them front to rear and set the pushrods in order, etc. I've got to start by pulling the 235 so I guess the good news is I can gain experience on the motor that matters less...
I guess the valves and springs themselves don't have to come off -- just the rods and rockers -- so I don't have to worry about anything being spring loaded, right?
