Thanks for all of the detail in the responses guys - and Dan for jumping in with the step by step instructions.

I'd purchased the car from Ron Reeves in Michigan, and when the engine was coming apart, he was on the phone with Gary Hall calling out part numbers and the two of them determined it was an H.O. with an XY Block - I'm anxious to get in there myself and document the parts, but I'm just as anxious to keep enjoying the car as long as possible before winter storage ... and I also don't want to end up starting something that I can't finish.

This first step of going in to work on the valve lash I think should help build my confidence - esp. since I plan on taking it to a mechanic I trust and work with him on it.

I'll post an update once it's done.
