rebuiding T4 advice

Aloha,

This is my 1st type 4 rebuild.

It's a stock 2.0 solid lifters with progressive carb in a 74 Westy.
I live in Hawaii so heater boxes won't be necessary. The cabinets of the van has been removed. I'd like to make this a mild performance engine that may oneday be used as an upright.

I've torn it down. #1 intake valve seat pounding in the head.
Should I rebuild stock or next size up valves w/ minor port work?

The cam bearings are badly pitted and cam lobes are worn.
There is a -4 marking on the cam gear?
I'd like to put a new Webcam & solid lifters.
Do I need to use my stock cam gear?
Any recomendations on cam?

The local machine shop is going over all the parts. They have a Scat C35 style cam and a Webcam for Hyd lifters in stock.
I'm going to call tommorrow and see what parts are reuseable and what they recomend as well.

I also have a pair of dual 36mm Dellortto's I'd like to run on this engine.
Do I have to drill both intakes and run a t-fitting for my power brakes?

Does someone make J-pipes for type 4's, Where does the altenator bracket attach?

Sorry for such a long list.
Mahalo
Sean
