I was able to get the Cam installed today. I had to convert the Cam Timing Gear to the older style 3 bolt from the new single bolt design. Lingenfelter sells the kit if you need it.
I also tested the heads for Piston to Valve Clearance. I was getting interference with the Intake Valve and the edge of the Intake Valve Relief in the pistons. I will have to work on the pistons to gain the clearance necessary.

I was able to get the work done to the Valve Reliefs in the pistons. Checked everything again and all the clearances are perfect. Then I installed the new Cometic Head Gaskets and the L92 Heads. I need to reinstall all the ARP Head Studs and double check the pushrod lengths one more time.

I ended up using the bit that I purchased at Sears yesterday. It made the cleanest cut. It took longer to tape everything up then it did to cut the intake reliefs. I would have taken pictures but you cant tell it has been done. I used a caliper and marked them .050 off the current radius and then cut and sanded them one at a time.
