It's all brand new. Last year I had it running with a mild cam (to pass emissions) and I threw a set of bearings due to a overheating problem....that was only after 200 miles. We tore it back down this spring and put a hotter cam in it and a new set of bearings. We broke the cam and lifters, changed the oil, cut the filter to check for bearing debris (held my breath) and I babied it (under 5K rpm's) for about 300-350 miles. Than I took it to the strip once and got a timeslip. Still haven't changed the oil for the second time (am waiting for the 500 mile mark). That's where I am now.
