Throw my 2 cents in:

400 SB 2-bolt main block bored .030 over

S.C.A.T Crank, Stock Stroke

Melling M-55 Standard volume/Standard Pressure oil pump w/pickup

5.7 rods with ARP Waveloc rod bolts. Full Floating

ARP Main bolts

Speed Pro Flat Top Hyperutectic pistons with teflon coated skirts

350 Truck heads (76 cc chambers if I am thinking right having the steam holes drilled and new springs and oil seals put in)

Right now Im looking for a oil pan that will work with the crossmember in my 71 and the Melling pickup and trying to figure out whats up with my cam bearings.
