I picked up Coated Rod and Mains. I also grabbed some ARP head/main/Rod bolts. Stronger Rods should be here tomorrow. I am going to poach the cams and TB's from the old motor. Going with a baffled pan. I have an OE pump being modded up in CHarlotte for more flow. (guy who does Toyota's NASCAR water and oil pumps). I got a much larger oil cooler and 2 Derale fans for it. I hope this works, if not, it will be an expensive learning experience.
