79 Malibu- Stocker-Stick Shift

Hey guys,
Another long break. Took a long time to get the heads and intake back from the machinist(I really don't think they enjoy us stockers! haha) however we are pretty happy with our turn out.
Cam is installed and sitting at .045" intake and .110" exhaust for piston to valve clearance. For our first build of this type whats your thoughts on the intake clearance? Not looking to break any records and will have a 1000 other bugs to worry about but we feel it is just about right.
Assembled below and we should be seeing this sitting in the car in the next few days!
