428 install, what to do?
Finally got the energy to put the engine in the GTO so here's a maybe stupid question.....
 The 428 with #16 head (screw in studs) 800cfm Buick quadrajet and possible a 041 camshaft connected with a th400 was bought unheard and cheap. It run when lifted out of another GTO 66 (LS swap) according to the owner but it could have a slight knock when taken out of winter storage. From what I heard did this engine ran pretty strong but I have no idea whats done with it. Should i just drop it in the car and cross my fingers or should I check lifters and cam chain before installing it? What would you do? The idea is to reinstall the original 389 when i got the funds to rebuilt it.
