Well, It's been about 3mos. since I first posted on this thread and I thought it was about time for an update.
FIRST: I would like to thank the members of this forum for the information that they have directly and indirectly provided (I used the search a number of times during various phases of this rebuild and the comments and pictures came in handy on more than one occasion) so THANKS TO ALL MY FOLLOW FE OWNERS/Contributors here.........
So here's where I'm at: I stuck with my original machinist and I'm glad I did, he did an excellent job. I had the block bored and decked.
The engine before breaking was pretty stock with only a mild Isky cam and streetmaster intake.
I went with
Custom Diamond pistons w/file fit Power Seal rings (10.5 to 1 comp)
Eagle rods
Comp Cams: 294S cam w/springs & lifters, roller chain & gear, roller rockers
Edelbrock 60069 heads (portmatched & ported)
MSD Pro-Billet dist.
Clevite & Felpro for bearings & gaskets
I have a 2x4 intake, but I will go with the single Streemaster & 750 untill I have broken in the engine.
Here's link to the before & current progress pictures:

I should have the final pieces back on and the car running this weekend .
Thanks again!!
