Back in town with news. All the bits and pieces are collected, here and screwed to the bare metal. The 331 and 347 shortblocks from Keith arrived and fulfilled all my expectations.
My one was ordered with a matching flywheel and damper.
For the thermostat housing I have choosen a Performance Stainless Steel one, the heater hose fittings from the same company will arrive in the next few days.
I used adjustable guide plates from CompCams instead of the supplied AFR parts delivered with the heads as well as CompCams hardened pushrods.
The thrust plate is the one from Precission Oil Pumps with the needle bearing, the oil pump and drive shaft are from the same company.
All fasteners are from ARP, the main studs are the ones for the windage tray to use them for mounting the pickup tube.
The rear sump canton oil pan is baffled, has trap doors and integrated scraper and clears the stroker kit.
The Cobra open letter valve covers are a must for me so I had to install milled down valve cover spacers to clear the scorpion rollers.
The complete thing is topped by a Weiand stealth and a MSD Atomic with a Cobra round air cleaner from Tony Branda.
Now the engine is waiting for the painted MK IV chassis and body, to be delivered by Wednesday next week latest.
Some pics for the gear heads:
