    GT-40P Heads + B Cam + 1.7s = ??

    I run that combo, no problems with the stock valve springs so far, going to switch to a Comp cam and upgrade the valve springs soon, I needed longer pushrods as well, some P head users do and some dont, wont know until you install the rockers

    TFS 1? or XE270HR? Which cam is better for my combo?

    Look at the other XE270HR that has 112 lsa rather than 114, would be better suited with a NA carb setup, thats what Im going with, I like the Comp XE line, compare the advertised to .050 duration numbers and youll see that Comp has a more aggressive ramp than the others

    GT40P and FelPro 1250

    Mine matched the 1250 on the top and 2 sides but not quite at the bottom, looks like your splitting the difference in the pic, you should be able to tell if someone gasket matched, you probably have the stock size ports

    How many feet of cable for Battery Relocation? And what Gauge?

    http://buffhomer.corral.net/custom.html diagram there.... I moved the solenoid to the rear also, so the wire to the front is only live while starting, little more work but worth it IMO

    B303 and cobra rockers

    Duration will not change, duration and lift might look the same as the F, but the valve events are totally different

    Steel input shaft retainer; needs shims?

    I used the same shim and didnt have any endplay, but we are talking thousandths of an inch here, so manufacturing tolerances come into play, sounds like you need a different shim in your case, you can order a shim pack from http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com

    stock aod notch 1/4 mile times

    Thats about right...my friend has a stock AOD coupe and ran about those times, he shaved .5 off just by icing the intake though for a best of 14.7, 4.10 gears and drag radials would do wonders for you
