.. i just want to make a good running motor .. i maybe drive it once every two weeks for a couple hours and thats it.. i kinda in a rut on what i should do.. being new to the whole motor thing i am just looking for some advice..

well i have used parts like this in many builds all but the rods but like i said that would not make me pull them out it has alot to do with who made the rods .you need to keep ahead of the parts from going away . your engine as it sits would be a engine getting pulled evey year to look at parts and check stuff before it falls part so miles on the street can be abit hard on some parts at get oil from oil splash . low speed low oil splash can hurt some roller lifters.. .so solid rollers i like Hippo and would go to aPSI or ISKy gold tool room valve spring more of a endurance dual spring . OR put it in run it look at the springs every year and pull the intake off every other year and check the lifters pull the rods out every 5000 miles throw them out and buy new .10.000 miles maybe a life time ?if not you realy need to rethink your engine. as engine like this only seen runs under a 120 race miles .then gets look over . but your not running it like a race engine the pistons crank .cam. valves .should hold up good . lifters to if hippo . rocker could some are better then others .you have alist of the parts in the build would help i know who,s lifters and parts hold up the best for stuff like this i built 12to1 up to 14.8 , 750 lift roller street engines for over 20 years for street use ONLY
