Thanks guys, just putting out some thoughts to ease my mind... Rocketdude,thanks for the info on the valve seats & the use of "unleaded" fuel etc...! Rocketrade, thanks for the 2 leeds on "engine rebuilders" ! One other question, what is the source for the rubber trim seals around the doors & trunk !

I'M NEW @ THIS SITE, so bare with me ! I'm close to purchasing 1950 88, and I need some info; will 'a '53 dist. w/ hexkey window work with this motor, or willa good aftermarket (see petronix0 be a smarter way to go ! Will the '54 to '56 heads fit & are they better breathing heads (can you tell the two apart (303 vs 324's)! What can I expect to pay to have the hardened seats installed etc. 9to r4n unleaded)! After removing the heads, should I repalce the hyd. lifters to an after market / upgrade ! (I know the motors have lifter / rocker arm problems...)! Is there anything else I should lookout for / replace as long as I'm going this deep into the motor ! All the help would be appreciated ! Labluvr
