With the builder base you have I'm glad you looked and are throwing some bearings in it. Be a great runner till you decide to go another path. Doing a timing set and oil pump I assume?
Timing chain yes, oil pump no. The pump themselves almost never go bad, just the O-ring for the pickup tube flattens over time. Got a new one of those to go in.

I listen to him too and Actions Detrimental and Kevin Harvick's Happy Hour.
Haven't tried either of those. I'm hit or miss on Podcasts, I generally just listen to music but have gotten kinda burnt out on music lately. I'll listen to certain episodes of C10 Talk if I know who's on there or I like cold case crime podcasts. In The Red Clay is one of my favorites, it's about the Dixie Mafia based out of Winder, Ga (I live right next door in Auburn). I've listened to it all the way through 2 or 3 times now lol. The head of the Dixie Mafia's son is the one telling the story, I've met him a couple times and actually just passed him on the road towing the '70 Torino 428 Cobra Jet his dad bought for him new

yup, the o-ring on the cam cover plate also flattens as well.
