Call Comp cams directly. They have a huge selection, and if you get someone good on the phone, they will be able to figure something out.

The block showed up to day and let me tell you I could not be happier. If anybody is thinking of going this route do it. Cant wait to get more parts, The only thing is that im missing the male peaice the allows the oil filter to be screwed on any one know what its called? Oh and where to get a high volume oil pump, and one more question any body have an opinion on the block color

For the male piece for the oil filter, call Competition Products, they might have it. Another thing to check for is dowels. There should be 2 dowels for the transmission, 4 dowels for the cylinder heads, and two dowels for the timing cover. You usually have to buy these as part of a "Finishing Kit."
Competition Products
You can get a Melling High Volume Oil pump. It's a part number M-68HV. I usually get them at Advance Auto locally, because then if I have to warranty it out, it's a lot quicker than shipping it back to Summit. Price is about the same, around $40.

my understanding is that the only time a high volume oil pump is needed is when you are planning on adding on something that has an oil feed, like a blower for example. then you would also be advised to get a larger pan because you definately don't want to pump the pan dry.
if you aren't planning on boosting it, then a standard volume pump is fine.

no good I think new stock parts should be good enough right? Any opinons on block color?
The block color gets kinda muted out on our motors to me...we have so much peripheral crap you really dont see much...I choose Black as it's easy to touch up. Depends on your choice of intake/VC color and such... I went with mostly Aluminum colors on my parts. Alot of the block is gone once you add your front brackets/accessories. Bout the only area that shows is under your heads...unless your gonna do a wire hiding job and maybe have no AC ???
For example here's mine all built...you see jack once the AC bracket goes on...

so long as you realize (and are ok with it) that it won't be optimal until you upgrade the heads, i can understand your thought process here. it's definately easier to replace the heads with the engine in the car than it is to replace the cam. i think it makes sense to install the final cam now before the engine goes in the car.

My apoligies, that cam is about right. I'm posting on several of these new motor threads on several forums, and I got confused.

um, tomorrow has come and gone bro.
My FTI cam has more lift and the same LSA at 112...mine runs fine. I do get low speed bucking in 1st or 2nd, but had that with my Steeda 19 cam...I still run a the stock puter and its fine...Not saying a chip wouldn't help.
Your doing a chip so I won't go into other things you would get....
