Definitely needs an instruction sheet. How many times have you purchased something only to question what the manufacturer wanted because no literature was included? Some items to include on an instruction sheet would include:

Head gasket recommendation.

Torque specs and tightening sequence.

Spark plug recommendation with the heat range.

Pushrod length if different than stock.

Head bolt recommendation with part numbers.

Any warnings – ie. “DO NOT USE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT HEAD BOLTS!!!”, “USE ANTI-SEIZE ON SPARK PLUG THREADS BEFORE INSTALLING”, etc.

Feel free to make corrections or additions. This is just a start.

A couple years ago you and I had some contact with a possible supplier of aluminum heads.  One of the things I discussed with him was moving the combustion chamber higher on the bore.  He said that would be a gain in HP.

My Studebaker friend contracted with the same guy to make some Stude manifolds.  He paid up front money.  After a year and a lot of excuses, he asked for his money back.  Haven't heard how the deal came out, but keep this in mind if you are thinking of using that source.

John.  Thanks for the warning but they’ll be no up front money with where I hope this goes.  Different group.

The last two words of your post are music to my ears.  "Different group".  My Stude friend is a 73 year old retired teacher who never has anything bad to say about anybody, but flat out called that guy a liar.
