Finally got all my parts from Pelican! She will be going back together tomorrow night Friday on my day off and I hope to hear it running (quietly) Friday afternoon! One last question is there any certain way to install the lifters? What I mean is do they oil orifices on the sides need to be all aligned facing a certain way, or can the lifter just be plopped into the holes?

Thanks!

Pre fill the new lifters with new hot engine oil to test & then just install on top of the valve springs no particular orientation. The cams are hollow, tubular, so you can pre fill them with oil also once installed.
