10-40 is ok, thats what i use, i just use reg valvoline not high mileage though, i guess you may want to use high mileage if you have a load of miles.... Valve adjustment if its been 30k since its been done, will need to replace valve cover gasket there.. o and plenty of radiator fluid.

I see no value in any of the mods you're doing. Skip the FPR for sure, and the '92-'93 cams are such a minor difference as to be not worth it.
