Minor hijack: what kind/brand of oil are you using? Gotta keep those ZDDP levels up there.

Dont know if this will help, since its a crate engine you may not have the zddp issue to deal with, but I just got this off the Mobil 1 site, since I use Mobil 1 in my 440:
 
Question: 
Mixing Motor Oil to Reach the Right ZDDP Level for Classic Cars
For an older, flat tappet, performance motor with inherent cam wear issues is there any benefit to mixing high ZDDP Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 to Mobil 1 High Mileage 0W-30 oil? The 15W-50 creates TOO MUCH oil pressure. It would be nice if you had a product for 'Classic' cars, high ZDDP, 0W-30 and 0W-40. I have used nothing but Mobil 1 for 15+ years.

Answer: 
Mobil 1 0W-40 already contains a higher level of ZDDP (1000 ppm) that could benefit your flat tappet engine. We also have a Mobil 1 High Mileage 10W-40 (1000 ppm); see our table listing the phosphorous levels for all Mobil 1 motor oils.

Funny you mention the ZDDP because Hemmings Muscle Machines just had a tech letter from a reader asking about that.  Basically the answer is that it is not necessary if you have a basically stock cam and spring pressures, but is definitely recommended for big performance cams.  They also say that a ZDDP additive at every oil change is just as good as using an oil with it already in it.

Be it good or bad, I'm using NAPA perf0rmance plus premium fleet something something... 15-40 Like oil for my diesel. Made by ashland.... (VALVOLINE)

Usually using diesel oil assures a decent level of zinc. I think I am going to try Brad Penn "green" oil when I get my engine back in the car. Sucks that most of the oil brands have dropped the additives out, thats why so many people are wiping out cam lobes.

don`t use Mobil unless you haev over 4000 miles on a new rebuild
CAm Sheild makes the best additive I have seen for increasing ZDDP levels , it adds about $8 / oil change which is nothing compared to replacing a cam
