I remember someone doing the homework on what the hood scoops and ram air setup flows, and it's marginal at best, even for standard engine offerings. There's no shame in not running it. A 14" element with the 3" filter will out flow the ram air setup every time.

Commented on the other thread about the crank bearing clearances, will add, check main journals on crank for out of round-ness. I suspect they are good, but is worth the comment. Also make sure the parts are 75 degrees for a day before you check.

I have heard mixed reviews on the PRW rockers, but believe the issues were early on in production, and were resolved. I personally would not use them, and spring for crowers, but that is just my SOP. On your build and power level, these days I wouldn't think twice about running them. Do a scrutinizing visual inspection, before & after install, and if all is good, let it rip.

Nice build. It's a popular, proven combo with repeatable results. It's pretty hard to go wrong with it. I personally would do the Road Paver, but nothing wrong with the OF. Very forgiving and easy to tune, with plenty of vacuum to support whatever.

Pushrod length check is SOP for every build, and not much effort to do. Check guide hole opening with it mocked up, and touch up as needed.

Check intake bolt holes too, mark the center of ports is optional, but recommended. I usually use a triangular file, notch the mating flange, and do a punch mark close to the valve cover gasket rail. If you need to adjust, the intake bolt holes need to be large enough, as well as the ridge on the timing cover gasket area.
