    Bangbangskeetskeet and Tech946, thanks for the welcome.

    I ended up putting the engine in as-is. She ran too good to take apart for the installation of aluminum heads. Even at 140,000 on the engine, she runs quietly without any valve train noises. The occasional cold piston slap is evident but quickly disappears. No known oil consumption between changes. The only thing I did was replace the rear main seal for good measure.

    I'm not looking for anything to take to the drag strip. Just some more power than the old, tired 350.
