Couple of engine parts questions. I would like to buy parts from one place if possible, but have limited options. Pontiac 400.

1. Summit does not carry the 4040M-10 bearings for my mostly stock rebuild, are the "race" equivalent bearings really any different?
2. What brand of timing gear. I want an adjustable to degree the cam. Summit does not offer an adjustable.
3. Would like to go with Moly rings, brand or part number suggestion?
4. Go with the standard replacement oil pump correct (60 psi)?
5. Rod bearings - anything to be concerned with here; do I go with tapered or not tapered? I would use the same brand as the mains.
6. Lastly - lock tite on the oil galley plugs yes/no? anywhere else?
