Mark,

Sounds like you have the makings of a great engine there. I have been doing a lot of reading on this and I'm at about the same point in collecting parts for a rebuild on my '74 engine.

I have a 2 Bolt block bored +0.030", KB flat top pistons (10.5:1 CR), total seal rings, aftermarket 5.78" (Stock length) I-beam rods. The stock crank is in for a regrind and I'll drop the rest of the reciprocating asemmbly to the shop next week for balancing.

I was in the process of specing a solid roller cam, when last week it all got thrown to the wind as I picked up a great deal on a dyno time only 600HP, 393C stroker. So now the rebuild will go at a slower pace and be more geared towards a replacement engine for the GT5.

Good luck,
