Got a box of goodies from Jeg's today. New Ford Motorsports double roller timing chain, new Ford oil pump, and Ford Motorsports B303 cam.
I also stopped by the machine shop to check on the work. It's going to be .040 over. I was hoping we could get by with .030, but they said it didn't clean up there. We had them order new Clevite bearings and Federal Mogul hypereutectic pistons. They were working on the balancing when I stopped by. The crank was turned .010/.010. I was hoping we could get by with just a polish, but it would've been out of tolerance.
I ordered and picked up a Fel-Pro complete gasket set, and had to order the Fel-Pro GT-40 intake gaskets separate since they are different. The intake gaskets are at the machine shop so they can be gasket matched to the heads..
I'm excited to get this engine built. It's my first actual build, although I've helped on a couple other brand rebuilds. We have most of the parts to build the long block now, so it's time to round up the front dress and a few more pieces.
