Hi Bill,
I just noted that the quoted price I had from the Miami supplier was
2000 USD not $2100
Outside of the issues I mentioned on the sump and the spacer required to
line up the crankshaft puller every thing fits....the timing cover, the
starter, the oil pump, the water pump, the distributor, the heads..even
the cam will serve you fine if you so choose.
On the fueling system..you should install a new chip if you are using a
hotwire EFI but a rising rate fuel pressure regulator will suffice on a
"flapper" EFI (with a little fiddling to find an idle). With a carbed
fuelling system you will need to re-jet of course.
