You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Don't forget to budget for the often overlooked

Oil and filter for runin
Oil and filter after runin
Coolant
Plugs
Points?
Dizzy cap and rotor?

you have stated the gearbox and clutch gaskets but you're going to use an entire long motor set of gaskets

Good luck with the project

Did i leave out the possiblity of supercharging,nos,nah im startin the 4efte next year anyway and that will have all that.....
Yeh i'll b buyin oil coolant filterz, plugs, i dont know bout the contacts as i might do a pulsar dizzy
I'm hopin for the engine to be done by like end of january..that'll give me time to work on all the other little pieces of sheite thats stoppin it from passin rego
Another thing that surprised me was that this engine had PERFECT Cylinders and the crank was still in spec...not too bad hey
I bought meself some autometer white faced guages (oil,water,volts and tacho) just to keep me from blowin it..then i would have to start again
