    Rattling from bellhousing

    You don't want any pre-load on the throw-out bearing as it will lead to premature wear. you need a bit of freplay in the cltch pedal, usually about 1/2 an inch.

    New heads on 102k mile motor

    It's happened both ways to me. I put new heads on my old Chevelle and it started burning oil right away, I added new heads to my Mustang and never had a problem. I don't think you'll have a problem, the way the engines are built and tuned now-a-days they last twice as long as the old engines...

    Its not the most accurate method, but if the mark went just slightly past 4 complete rotations then it's probably 4.XX:1, just under then 3.73's or 3.90's.

    Upper or Lower Rear Control Arms ???

    You can get adjustable uppers to adjust pinion angle, which will greatly improve launching. Start with lowers though if your just doing one set at a time.

    header to h pipe bolts

    I think they were a stud with a spring on them to allow for some flex. If the headers have been drilled out for bolts to slide through you may be out of luck. Use a good grade 8+ bolt and make sure everything is lined up straight before you tighten it down.
