I've got just about 1500 miles on it now, what ajustments are needed at this point? Valves, timing etc..

If you haven't already done it, change your oil. You shouldn't need to retorque the head, but it's a good idea to check just about everything else... exaust, intake, waterpump, front cover, pan, mounts, converter, driveline, and anything else you had apart. John

Thanks John, I've changed the oil about 5 times, had oil pump probelms. Put in a new pan also. Valve ajustments will be first.
