Welcome to PY..

Only thing that sticks out to me is what Steve said on the heads if they are still pressed in bolt neck studs. . Using the 224/234 cam with those lifts is a roll of the dice, could push a stud out and leave you stranded sometime.

Since you had the short block apart, and I assume it is the original 77 bock, did you happen to notice whether there are dowel pins indexing the main caps or roll pins?

Does the car still have the 2.xx highway gears? Be nice to use something closer to a 3.08 or 3.23. More performance gains there than most of the stock type engine internals.
