Well as some of you know, this is my first time rebuilding a motor, and just wanted to give an update on the progress...
First off, its a stock block, bored & honed .030 over
balanced
eagle crank
eagle rods
tfs stage II cam
tfs 10:1 forged pistons by arias
tfs track heat heads
tfs hardened pushrods
scorpion 1.6 rr's
frpp steel timing chain w/ 9 keyways
melling high flow standard volume pump
edelbrock air gap intake
etc etc etc...
last night we finally made some progress.. swapped out the standard oil pump for the new one, swapped out the piece of sh1t summit 6620 timing chain (had an extra link in it or something, it wasnt for a 302) for the frpp steel timing chain set. got the oil pan and timing cover on, rockers are all adjusted, and the water pump is almost fully installed. (do you guys use sealant on yours? its an edelbrock pump, and it didnt say anything about using silicone) but now i need to find a few bolts im missing. one for the timing pointer, and a few of the water pump bolts i somehow misplaced. but anywho, here she is as of now
