That's good. Mike is right on.
Make sure you use his hydraulic lifters. They have less plunger travel than most which limits lifter pump-up or collapse.
Also have Mike give you the specifications for valve spring presure.
Seat pressure is usually 115 lbs and open pressure around 300 lbs.
He may want more for the more aggressive exhaust lobe
just ordered the cam.
Now what comes first the pistons or the block work. The machinist wants the pistons before he does the 30 over just to make sure on the tolorance. I'll get the rods to him this week.
What do you think of TotalSeal gapless rings?
Thoughts on distributor DUI,Progression Ignition, Pertronix------------ hei or coil
Sparkplugs

Did you order lifters with the cam?
The only info you need right now from the block is the deck height so you can calculate the piston CD and there is a place on the order form for the length of the cylinders.
If your machinist knows for sure that a .030" over piston will get the job done then yes, one he gets the new pistons he can finish honing the cylinders for the correct clearance.
I don't like Total Seal gapless rings.
I use BWE gapless rings. Bruce is the person who made the original gapless rings.

As far as distributor, are you going to use a carburetor or EFI?

You will want the Holley Sniper to control the ignition timing because you will need to retard the timing proportional to boost.
You will want to use the DS2 distributor to trigger the Holley Sniper and have the Holley Sniper trigger a MSD 6AL.
The DS2 will need to have both the mechanical and vacuum advance locked.
Talk to Bruce at BWE about piston ring material.
