Didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I'd highjack my own thread
Trying to piece together the parts for the H/C/I swap coming up
Was wondering what timing gear set you guys like. Haven't bought a set in 15 years and used to just buy the old Cloyes double roller or FRPP one. Went to the Summit racing site and saw 56 different ones from 30 to 200. lol The rollermasters are nice but $200?
For Head gaskets, the guy I have used for 20+ years for machining my engine parts and working the heads is telling me the cometic gaskets are the new must have ones. I always used to use the Felpro 8458pt2 or 9333pt1. Says he has been using cometics and loves them. but $80 a piece...ouch
Have ported Exlporer intake
70MM Tb
Ford Shorty headers- yeah I know get LT but these will have to work for now
Just bought a PRO M 75MM bullet MAF and matching SVO 30Lb injectors $225 off CL local
Rest of the parts I'm assemblying are
Still need to buy
ARP head bolts ARp-154-3601 or: ARP 154-3605 .. Edelbrock recommends ARP #254-3708 $160?
Tough Stuff polished water pump 1594NE $110
Pioneer 872030 Balancer $160
Head gaskets- cometic C5514-040 $80 each or Fel pro 8548 pt2 $20 each
Intake gaskets- Felpro
FEL-MS93334 $10 or Edelbrocks 7220 $25
Exhaust gasket- Felpro 1415 $20 or Edelbrock 7228 $25
Intake, timing cover, VC, other bolts - SS $75
Chrome timing pointer $25
Chrome dipstick tube $10
Spark Plugs RC12YC - cross reference to autolite 3924
Cam? 300 or so for FTI cam unless someone can talk me into a comp cam OTS or TFS 1
Timing gear and chain
Timing gasket set
Figure with $800 for the heads, rockers, and pushrods around $2000 total or so + fluids and misc junk
Gonna make the engine all purty and polish out the timing cover
Chrome Valve covers to replace my polished ones
Did I miss anything? Anything you guys would change?
I'm already budgeting for a silverfox VB, trans cooler and new converter and 1 piece input shaft when this motor proves too much for the AOD. lol
