Hey Guys,
I'm gettin to the point where I need to start ordering the parts to finish my street 467, 6X heads(ported), solid roller cam/valvetrain build. I'm looking for advice and reminders to avoid buying anything sub-par, and to make sure I aint missing something.
PART RECOMENDATIONS WELCOME AND APPRECIATED!!!
I'd like to put a 6 quart oil pan on it.
Oil Pump, higher volume pump necessary?
Fuel pump, is a higher volume fuel pump necessary?
Water pump... recomendations?
Ignition system, Planning on going with an MSD kit.
Harmonic Balancer -neutral balanced... suggestions? (engine is internal balance)
Flywheel -neutral balance... suggestions?
Timing chain/gears... comp cams double roller?
Rear Main Seal... Viton?
Head Gasket... Suggestions?
Starter, thinkin of going with the ROBBMC starter...?
I reckon I'm probably missing something.
Thanks for the help!

Oil Pump, higher volume pump necessary?..cheap insurance since you are buying a new one anyways.
Fuel pump, is a higher volume fuel pump necessary?....For 467 inches-yes
Water pump... recomendations?...any quality rebuild or new.
Ignition system, Planning on going with an MSD kit.That'll work
Harmonic Balancer -neutral balanced... suggestions? (engine is internal balance)Any factory unit in good shape.There are aftermarket units available but they are $$$$.
Flywheel -neutral balance... suggestions?..Auto?Factory.Stick?McLeod
Timing chain/gears... comp cams double roller?...Cloyes
Rear Main Seal... Viton?...yes
Head Gasket... Suggestions?
Starter, thinkin of going with the ROBBMC starter...?...Again McLeod.
I reckon I'm probably missing something.
Thanks for the help!

Matt--
Stock water pump will suffice for street-strip action.
Stock damper will also suffice. (new)
Cloyes true roller/ Comp/ Edelbrock all will work fine.
Gaskets: Fel Pro--everywhere.
Assembly lube for bearings, mains and rods (red stuff) |
