Patprimmer-yes, thanks, I plan on going over everything in the valvetrain to make sure things are moving correctly.
Vintage-You brought up a good point about the cam gear set that I also asked the "parts guy" when I ordered the stuff for the engine and he assured me the gears are stock, normal...
Thanks Phil,
I had not thought of leaving the hydraulic lifters in there, it's an interesting idea. But, I will do as you suggested at least to see if it improves how it runs. Thanks for the input.

Hi all,
First post here and have a question about this old ford V8. It's a reverse rotation 221 Ford Eaton Interceptor in a Chris Craft that I rebuilt several years ago and it hasn't run right since! Well, actually, it has been parked for almost the whole time due to in-laws health issues...
