Anybody want to check my parts list for compatibility?

[tylerrocks]

Its time to finish my first engine buildup. The details are killing me. I know its a lot to ask but could anyone check these part numbers from summit? Im ready to start putting it togather.

FMS-M-6287-B302 Eccentric
SUM-G6620 Timing Chain
FMS-M-6582-A301R Valve Covers,
FMS-M-6675-L302 Oil Pan,
FMS-M-8501-C50 Water Pump,
FMS-M-9600-L302 Air Filter Assembly,
MRG-7121 Full Gasket Set,
SES-5-60-08-005 Oil Pump and Pickup Assembly
SUM-163289 Harmonic Balancer
SUM-250004-1 Fuel Pump,
SUM-329600 Pulley Set, Serpentine,
SUM-56250HS Engine Bolts,
SUM-850020 Distributor

I have been told to use a 1 piece fuel pump eccentric with the older style timing trio. This will be in a latemodle, roller 302. I believe the water pump is reverse rotation. The crank IS 28 oz in case anyone was gonna tell me to use 50oz. Will that fuel pump support nitrous later? say a 100 shot? Are the pullies and belt all I need to convert to serpentine? Is the distributor a stand alone unit? Will I need a coil or ignition module (or points)?

Thanks guys, If there is anything you think I need to know please tell me.

i recommend a hardened oil pump drive

Why that distributor?

get a HV water pump

Most but not all of Summit brands parts are barely acceptable to me. IMO, especially when it comes to engine parts. I would not buy the Summit timing chain, engine bolts, dist, and fuel pump. You can get proven parts for very little more money. The Summit pulleys are good.

Also, I noticed Mr. Gasket gaskets just from the prefix on the part number, I did not check what kind but I am not sure they are OK.

Why not that distributor? Is there one you would suggest? What dose HV stand for?

Ok then no summit parts. Are you saying that I shouldn't use Mr. gaskets?

I'd use felpro over mr.gasket any day.

You may have an issue with the cam/timing gear/fuel pump eccentric.

The early style camshafts had a longer dowel to go through the timing gear and engage the one-piece eccentric. The roller engines had a shorter dowel on the cam to just engage the timing gear, those engines that had both roller cam and mech. fuel pump used the two-piece eccentric. The center piece of the eccentric had a tab that engaged the timing gear.

I would go with the two piece eccentric, or get an electric fuel pump and not worry about compatibility. It could also be used for a security feature, toggle switch to deactivate the pump.

You definately need to review the parts for the fuel pump eccentric. I went through this recently and have an excellent thread you should read:

Given the parts listed, you will need the 2 piece eccentric. I don't think Summit carries this part. Read the thread and you should get all the answers you need.
