if you put it together the first time then i would deff. take it to a machine shop and have them assemble it for you untill your more familiar with the pontiac 400 i have just overhauled mine so if you need any help feel free to pm me i know a lot about the 400 good luck

*edit ps i have all those parts you need if your intrested in buying them from me. (cam, lifters, pushrods)

*double edit - a carburated engine owned by a unexperienced mechanic (not trying to be offensive) is going to see a lot of garage time and under the hood then on the road at first but you will be suprised on how much you learn and how fast.
