Spending Christmas Money

Taking advantage of VB's sale, I bought some hardened valve seats & TR6 double-row cam & crank sprokets. I also decided to get a beefed up headlight wiring harness, windshield washer set (Currently missing) and a thermostat for an electric fan (to be sourced later on EBay @ $30). VB's stuff is reasonably priced when on sale, but a rip otherwise.
From BPNW I ordered a new oil pump & rocker shaft to replace the tired & scored OE (?) units, along with new Stainless exhaust valves and valve springs. When I get a fresh infusion of cash, I'll order bronze guides, clutch kit and other small parts from Spitbits.
When I have enough cash set aside, I'll take the head and the block to the machine shop to get a proper assessment of what can be done. I'll have it align bored & balanced & have a 3-angle valve job.
As an indication of VB's commitment to service, 5 days after ordering, they can't confirm if my order has even shipped! (They charged me...) BPNW shipped the day I ordered and e-mailed me a tracking number.
