slant 6 rebuild and upgrade list

BTW, I did not see oil pump on your list but I may have missed that. The oil pump gear is a critical part. Also, some cams' pump gears are known to have problems with the /6 pump gear; I cannot remember if Oregon is on the 'good' list or what. Since you are doing a serious application, I would encourage you to contact Doug Dutra (Doctor Dodge over on www.slantsix.org) and see if he will do a blueprinted oil pump for you. I had him build one for my '62 near stock rebuild, just for reliability and longevity. His price was reasonable.

BTW I see you are in Webster.... looks like an out of the way place; hopefully not too developed yet. North central FL is a good area.
