Is that a must or inspect the old for wear or damage?

That should work. It's cheap insurance.

Are you going Full Roller setup?

 

[72ScampTramp]

No roller Solid mechanical cam

 

[1970Duster]

You know a Roller setup will bring you into the power curve sooner and keep you there longer then a Flat tappet cam.

 

[72ScampTramp]

Yes i know and it will also lighten my wallet too lol

Yes i know and it will also lighten my wallet too lol

That has never been a truer statement LOL! The Full Roller setup in my 340 just about the same as my Eddy Heads (60779).

maybe someday it will be in the works but for now its what i can afford. I got the build down and everything bought. Now im just making sure I didnt over look anything.

Ditch the windage tray and use a Crank Scraper. Scrapers do a far better job. I'd also look at ditch the factory balancer for an SFI (less chance of it coming apart). Oh and you can't go wrong with ARP bolts. Maybe a stud girdle (I put one in every motor I build).

[72ScampTramp]

No crank scraper. Im only using the windage tray because i have it already. Ive been keeping my eye out for a SFI balancer in my budget but it wont see over 6k so i should be ok. And ARP on the mains and maybe heads.

 

[72ScampTramp]

Also these are the main and rod bearings I got are they going to be ok for a performance build?

Federal Mogul 5025 M Main Bearing
Mopar Performance P2836184 Rod bearing

I cant seem to find much info on these I picked them up at a swap meet sometime ago.

 

[72ScampTramp]

Anyone know much about these bearings? If i need different ones tell me
