    there lighter you say, that explains how they protect the head, never thought of that. the valves aren't that expensive, about $170 for the full set. the motor will be rebuilt stock and put in a 53 chevy pickup but i plan on putting 10k miles on a year or hopefully more.
    it was an industrial motor so i hope it has the hardened seats in already, i heard that they used them and i hope it's true. oh well if it doesnt it's nothing that money can't fix ,thanks guys.

    as for the TBI you can buy and adaptor plate from square bore to TBI , and the 348 / 409 distributer is different than other chevys so i have that at a machineist right now getting the center to accept the shaft and guts out of the TBI distributor from the donor vehicle.
