I hope you had the machine shop give you .005 clearance piston to cyl wall.
For me I would not use the high voluume pump with a stock pan. My opinion is the gear ratio is to much for a street driven car. To much RPM's while on the freeway. A holley 800 would be a good choice for the carb. Other wise all sounds good. Should get up and go.

the stock oil pan wasnt by choice just kind of happened i would like to find a shop to deck the heads to get more compression and maybe a valve job but im really considering rocket racing heads.
