Questions for a 3.0, #1 is adapting to a 901, What can I keep, what do I need? what else? Options

[Mark Henry]

Still debating to build a 2.0 or 2.4 or 2.7 or say fuch it sell it all and get a 3.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
To me the bottom line $$$ looks almost the same.

For a 3.0:
What would I need to keep for the clutch and PP (9bolt fly) that works on a 901?
What would I need to buy from KEP?

Should I be grabbing anything else from the donor engine ?

I'm looking a a few engines,
#1 a 3.2 that's a bit beyond my budget,
#2 an unknown 3.0 longblock core, spins fine, I suspect a broke headstud(s)
#3 a good used stock 3.0 euro sc with CIS,
#4 a hot rod 3.0 with webers newer top end w/JE's

I'm reading all the pro's and cons, yes JP.... Santa did bring me Wayne's book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
What would be your order on my engine choice list above?

Wish I could find a sub 100K mile engine for $3000. Anyone got one to sell for that price? I'll even ship it across the border.

It's never ran with this set-up, but both his 3.2 and 3.6 run crankfire.
It's his mock up engine or he said you could also call it his #3 backup engine.
My concern is the unknown milage and alusils. On something like this I would like to one day hop it up a bit with a top end job and JE's, so these jugs would be NG.

To me it's a core, but he didn't like that point and I had to smooth the talk back to positive.
Waiting to see what his price is. Might know tonight.
