Bearings.. Clevite 77H JEGS has them
Rings.. JE
Clutch i would go with Street Twin AL flywheel
you do NOT need to fill the block
I am using a melling HV pump

 

TTT....

what 4 bolt set up are people doing...and is there a cost diff....
are the ring that come with the JE pistins good, i read some where to order the pistons with NOS rings...RK i think said this...

anyone

 

The JE pistons come with a nice set of moly rings that should be adequate for all but the most extreme uses. If you want to upgrade though, the "Hellfire" rings are very nice. PITA to gap though, they are pretty hard.

Rich

 

I ordered my rings from them with "boost" in mind ... they sent me the best they had.

Anyways... with the proper gap i think JE pistons will suffice... i did 607 with them @10psi boost... so they work.

 

What would be the best why to do the 4 bolt..just the mid 3 or should i do the front as well...

At what point should the block be filled

 

The middle three should be sufficient. Oliver makes a nice set of billet main caps, they even stamp OLIVER into them. LOL Anyways, they're about $240 bucks or so for the three, then figure on another $100 for a main stud kit from ARP.

I don't think the block would really need to be filled unless you're turning some serious RPM or running alot of boost. If it's a street car, don't fill it all the way, just enough to strengthen the main webbing because it will run hot. If you do decide to fill it, it would be a very good idea to revamp the cooling system.
