428 block prep

I have a 428 that I need to get ready for assembly with basically all new parts.

It is going to be running a solid cam.

What modifications need to be made to the block other than blocking off the lifter oil gallerys?

I have to take it to the machine shop tomorrow so I'd like to get them to do everything properly before I get it back
Parts list is as follows

Comp cams 282S
Edelbrock Heads and Performer RPM intake
stock adjustable rocker arms and Comp cams pushrods. end shaft supports and spring eliminators.
Comp Cams Springs and retainers
Holley 750 CFM Dbl pump carb (is this big enough, its off my 390)
10.5/1 pistons
stock rods
stock crank
edelbrock water pump
canton T pan
high vol oil pump
FPA Headers

the other question I have is on the harmonic damper, the one off the 428 was a pulley as well, the one off the 390 is just a damper, which is what I need.

can I use the one from a 390, or are they ballanced differently? I'm going to have the hole assembly ballanced anyway.
Sorry for the long post, I just want to get it done right the first time.

This thread, so far...
