...I admit this old combo probably won't help anyone, if you can use it fine, if not that's OK too. This was before low cost stroker cranks & "H" beam rods were every where. I didn't have the funds to offset grind the crank for chevy rods, so I did like a lot of people and just used stock rods.
**Block: "Nothing special" 2 bolt block,"generic" grout block filler from Reher Morrison filled to 1.25"-1.30" down from deck surface, masonary bit to drill new water pump passages through grout up to deck, line bore mains, ARP 2 bolt studs, cam & lifter oil restricters, fittings & hard line with a .020"-.025" hole to pressure feed/spray back side of dist/cam gears, bored +.030" & honed to mirror finish, decked & cut for "O" rings.

I'm sure I forgot some stuff, but this combo was in a '70 Ranchero, FMX trans,3500 stall, 28"x11.5"x15" firestones, 5.67 & 5.14 gears, roll bar, connecters, cheap crappy ladder bars, aprox. 3700lbs(hood was over 100lbs).
**Best 1/8 mile ET "motor"=...7.70sec w/850...7.90 w/ 1150(lazy)
**Best 1/8 mile ET "nitrous"=..6.90sec w/850...6.70 w/1150
While this combo can't compair to the "team 335" entry, it was a fun & cheap "nitrous pig" to play with on T&T nights at the track....DAVID.
EDIT: Listed gears was "4.56 & 5.14", now corrected to read "5.67 & 5.14".
