If you have a donor chassis and body.
You order a new Shortblock. New cylinder head, new camshafts, all of the valve pieces, tensioners, timing chain, etc. end up with a new long block essentially.
Obviously there are a lot of options on what size shims to get. I don't think that it makes any sense to get measurements from a previous head as they would serve no purpose. As I recollect, the FSM doesn't really give guidance when everything for the cylinder head is new. I suppose I could have a machine shop build it for me, and determine the correct sizes. Use some pucks, and figure it out.
What size shims do you get? Or best to leave it to a Machine shop have them use the pucks and order the shims?
