Yeah see that's the trouble Bill, I can't go down that rabbit hole if I'm going to accomplish this.
Back when I was tinkering with the engine, I took the cam out to replace it with something nicer. I noticed cracked cam bearing and it was at that point, I had no money, and replaced it with the SBC.
If I can get this engine back in the car right now it's going to just have to be as-is, what's absolutely necessary and no more. I want to original trans back too, and it needs rebuilt because the reverse never worked.
i have very little money to spend.
