Took the dizzy and the camshaft out today. This means the harmonic damper is also off, the cam followers are out too. I also took out the oil pump and pickup. The stripdown is going very quickly indeed. I also found a local engine builders near me that a guy with a V8 Dax recommends. I found also that if the bores are worn to the point of no redemption, they can be sleeved and then rebored. The sleeves are about £25 a go, so not too sad - I may not have to sleeve all 8!
In all this stripdown mode, I have discovered that despite owning a large amount of tools, I still needed to buy a(nother) puller to get the harmonic damper off and a set of decent AF sockets.
Pics next time....
