Yes i can wrench. Thank God.
plus my buddy I got the heads and cylinders off of already did his and he is going to help me.
the big thing im having trouble deciding is tensioners.
Cyco replacements...cheapest and probably adequate as long as I inspect occasionally.
SE Hydraulic conversion or
Gear drive. If my runout is good.

I have a 98`' very similar to what you propose.
I suspect you will need an adjustable ignition
I used the Daytona Twin Tech

One of the reason to go with the newer heads is to be able to run higher left cams. If your having head work done they can do that to your existing heads too with new springs and the porting will be just as good on your old heads too. If you have alot of miles on yours thats a good reason to use the low mile heads. Just a reference the Andrew's 57 is the same as the 37 but more lift on the 57.
