I didn't get a part number, I'm getting a rotating assembly, heads, cam, and lifters, just asked him to add it in. He did tell me it was a Crane part for the .467 distributor shaft.
Since he is incredibly difficult to reach I don't think I'll have any more info until the parts show up.
I did find this after a few searches:
COMP Cams - Performance Camshafts, Lifters, Valve Springs, Rocker Arms

I sure hope so! Although not much more $$ than a holley. I do not really care for the silver color on the QF but its all about how it works and adjustability

I ended up buying the Crane gear the week before I was ready to start it. The day I wanted to start it was the day I realized the distributor would need re drilled for the new gear. Somehow I completely overlooked that important detail. I never realized the hole were off center from the factory. Whoops

Sorry that's all I've got for now. I need to do a couple things to it here when I get a chance. It's just been sitting with my work schedule. Good thing about working 60 hr weeks I feel like spending some money!
I need to buy another harmonic balancer, from what I can see this one slipped. My timing keeps changing without me. I knew better too but what can I say. I also need to go over the valves one more time. I'm also contemplating switching distributors along with buying a wideband kit.

Getting a little deep in the fall here for this, but I've finally got almost all the parts I need to start putting my 445 together. Got the cam in today but realized I don't have the Woodruff keys, so need to find some on Monday. Did a trial fit on the rest of the top end to make sure the T&D rockers will work under my valve covers, make sure my pushrod length checker is the right length etc.
The BBM heads intake ports are a perfect fit to the gaskets, so easy to mark the intake for port matching. Got that done today, I'll take the intake to the machine shop when I pick up the keys and get him to toss it in his jet wash. Then I can put it together, get it in the truck, and fire it!

You're getting down to the exciting part. I love hearing something run for the first time. I'd say you won't be disappointed with yours it looks like you did all your homework. I'm kinda going through building withdrawal I think. Tomorrow I plan on tearing down a 460 I have sitting around and starting another build for another truck. It's not going to be near as elaborate as this one but more something to do.

My buddy, the fellow in the picture setting up the dial gauge, built a 521 based on a 460 for his 67 F100.
I wanted to stay with an FE, not the least because it is a 4WD and there is a bunch more work getting the driveline together with an engine swap.
His is a rocket. Probably making in the 600-700 hp range.
