The MSD setup for 200 is a good deal. Those parts list new for around $450.

Summit Racing has many good parts at reasonable prices. I would trust summit brand parts way more than the no-name brand parts on ebay. Here are some parts summit has and a range of prices...
water pump--- short $55(part#SUM-311005) or long-$59.95(SUM-311006)
pressure regulator--- $29.95(SUM-G3131)
wires--- large name brand selection $50-up
Holley 650cfm carb--- $327.88 (HLY-0-4777C)
flex fan, flew-a-lite brand or Summit--- $16.88-$29.95 depending on model and size.

Why do you need a water pump for a v8 to v8 swap? Or wires? Or a fan?

I got a flex fan for you $20 shipped.

If hes getting rid of the computer, the electric fans wont work. and if hes going to a v belt setup, the serpentine water pump wont work since its reverse flow. I think the wires may just be an upgrade, unless the MSD distributor has different ends than the stock distributor. Even if its the same, if i did a motor swap, id probably change them too just for the hell of it.

pulley setup and fans are usable for the swap. done it three times before. any questions pm me...

Ok, you can have fans with no computer. Its a switch & a relay, just like GM did. And why swap accessory setups at all? Leave what came in the car or use the whole donor setup. A SBC is a SBC.

Looking at his thread, I'm guessing he is trying to save money here so I am wondering out loud why he needs some of this stuff. And the electric fans are free HP and making them work will cost no more than a fan & shroud will set him back. I did assume his old wires are beat too, but since I see these other things that do not need to go, I thought I'd ask about them too.

i agree with you 100%, i had my carb'd 383 with serpetine belt drive and electric fans. You are actually thinking into his post, lol, i just gave him the answers he wanted. But yes, he can save more by keeping the current accesories and fan.

My 77 will have a serp setup & electric fans by summer. :-D
