    Irregular valve tip wear pattern

    I agree with MikeB. The guide plates are not aligned and causing the rockers to not contact the stems properly. The solution is either correct the geometry with these heads or replace them. You might be able to utilize offset rockers but that isn't common.

    383 guys: stock oil pan interference issues?

    The pan should not be an issue unless it is bent. The depth of the pan is determined by the clearance issue of the vehicle. The block should be milled for clearance of the rods and that is a known issue with the build you are doing.

    crew cab carpet?

    Yes. I did a scuff sanding and adhesive but I used a trim place from the back of the headliner to secure the end near the back glass.

    easiest way to install aftermarket gauges?

    There is not a plug on the market to plug up to the harness. You can purcahse plg bodies and build your own, which I would recommend. The idea of unplugging all those wires one at a time is enough to make you want to drive a Ford.

    crew cab carpet?

    I bought mine from LMC and it fit great. I did buy the crew cab carpet but my truck isn't a crew cab; I used the extra carpet to cover the back of the cab since I have buckect seats in it.

    1978 Jimmy wiper switch

    Which Painless harness do you have? Is it the universal or the truck specific? I just finished installing one on my truck that was specific and can give you the wire numbers if you have the same one.

    Cam choice

    Cam selection depends somewhat on several things. What are you doing to the engine? What rpm range is it going to work in? What is the axle ratio?

    Dual Exhaust system

    89Suburban they make cats for headers that will pass in most states. Guess I am the odd ball on this subject, but I prefer the Pypes Street Pro mufflers.
