Only think I can say for sure is you're gonna either want to get a new intake or have the Performer ported. This winter I'm sending my Performer out to be ported.

What was the $$ quote for all that jazz? (if you don't mind me asking).

Sounds like a winner...

I would use a Scat 4340 forged crank, not the RPM crank, 5.4 rod lightweight I beam w 7/16" ARP rod bolt upgrade, not a 5.315, Romac ultralight 28oz damper, Fidenza 28oz aluminum flywheel. Liteweight rotating assembly spins up real fast. and I would do a custom cam designed around the head and intake cfm flow among other things, from FTI, Cam Motion or Jay Allen. That 226/232 dur is too small, IMO, go with a 230/240 dur, or just go with off the shelf cam like Comp Cam XE282HR, one bad ass cam.

I would go with at least a Performer ll intake but a better choice would be the Holley Systemax ll port matched to the gasket and the heads.

are you staying NA with it or do you plan on boosting it? with that CR, i bet NA.

looks like a good start, but:

what do you know about the heads?
what machine work are they doing?
main girdle? if so you should have it align honed with the girdle torqued down.
windage tray?
hone with or without torque plate?
deck or square the block?
high volume or standard oil pump?
standard or high capacity oil pan?
what headers?

fwiw, i have some stuff left over from my aborted 331 build you might be interested in.

+1 for the fidanza flywheel, really good stuff

Blackvert, do you have a listing/link of all the stuff you are trying to get rid of?
