Ford's valvetrain stuff for the Windsor family was made by Crane primarily. Even the 1.7 roller rockers used on the 302 Cobras have a Ford emblem and part number on one side, and "Crane cams" on the other.

My Cranes are noisy too, like a sewing machine. They've worked so far.

You should get 24# injectors, as for a chip stay away from out of the book ones and get one custom burned
