[Tigers] Newest update on my resto Tiger project

[Gyroplanes at aol.com]

I finally got my 302 apart, it is a roller cam model, very clean  inside.
 I got a bit of a start though.
When I peeled back the garbage bag I've had around it for the last 20 yrs,  
it had a 2bbl intake..... I momentarily gasped, but remembered I took the 
intake  and carb off for my Ranchero when I ordered the Performer & Holley.
I must have set the 260 intake on it to keep the mice out.
 
I'll probably plastigauge the rods & main for piece of mind. Everything  
looks clean and very low miles.
 
I noticed it has an aluminum oil pump body, is this an aftermarket?  I  
thought I remember my many Fords all having cast iron pumps?
 
Thanks in advance,
Making progress
