Hey cobradude. Befor you sink alot of your hard money in this motor,you should sent it to a good machinist and have a sonic check, magnafluxed boiled and checked for cracks. Make sure the mains are in spec and square with the block. Parts Talk to george anderson from Gessford machine. Check with FFP in California. 562-921-5300 They sell alot of FE parts at a fair market price. I get a 10-10 428 crank from them and it was perfect. eagle rods came from Jegs, Heads came from Shelby and were ported and C&C for flow Heavy duty timing cover came from DovePerformance. Go to swap meets, get Hemmings Mag. Shop around listen for leads. and work for a fair price. E-mail Dan Cain for the FE- magazine at FECA.com or call 423-338-0061. He can point you in the right direction. TAKE YOUR TIME
