Good advice from Chaplin. If I remember correctly, the T&D's cost an extra $300 plus another $400 +/- for the extra work on the Edelbrock heads. Instead of a billet crank, why not one of those new 4340 steel cranks as a middle alternative. Also, what type of timing chain? You might want to spend $100-$200 extra on a billet timing chain with a Torrington bearing. As Jamo would say, a timing chain is "muy importante."
