its a eagle forged crank, eagle H beam rods, diamond .040 pistons, total seal gapless rings, cam was custom ground specced out by tea i dont totally remember specs now. some expensive ass splayed caps all arp hardware, clevite H series bearings. pushrods r trickflow 7.250" chromoly, rocker 1.6 harland sharps, lifters are gm hydrolic was told there the ones to use. the crank and rods were in a block that had 500 miles on it we had the shop magnaflux and check both of them. i cant think of anything else. should be a pretty strong motor.

Def looks really nice, best of luck with it. I was just wondering what your piston to wall clearance spec was with those pistions because it looks like a tight fit. Also have to allow for more heat expansion if they are hyper or forged. Just curious.

im not sure of the piston/wall clearance i can tell you that they bored the block .041 over and the pistons are for a .040 block. the rings were gapped for a big shot of n2o so they have plenty of gap for wen it heats up.
