Quick update. I got my head back from a shop with 1 new valve. He said the rest looked decent. It was super cheap and supports my "just get up and running" mentality. I was shopping for a new cam and lifters and pushrods for peice of mind and I stumbled across top end kits on summit.
Looking at this right now

It's a bit more then the $300 I would spend on the peice of mind cam/lifter/pushrod kit I priced out but if it delivers the 450 claimed hp then I'd prbly be happy with this setup for a while.
The aluminum truck LS on CL was snapped up and the extra expense/headache of converting has me shying away in favor of just keeping my current setup +more power
I have modest goals of 450ish hp for street/track work and am getting antsy since the car has been down almost a month
I'm all over the map!
