    Welcome! I'll chime in on your cam choice. You can make a flat tappet cam work if you're careful about your oil choice, very careful with your initial start and break in process, and a bit lucky. You'll have a better chance of a trouble free engine if you go roller cam with the main line oils available today. Most folks shy away from flat tappet cams, and wouldn't take a used flat tappet cam for anything but an art project.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
