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.

Can someone like EBS or LN Engineering take alusil cylinders and turn them into nickies ? Seems to me I read that they can but not sure or if it's cost effective. I searched many forums to find my 3.0 and I had to drive to North Carolina to pick it up. Deals are out there you have to keep looking and I guess have some luck. Good luck with your search.

They do but I think it would be more cost effective to find a good used set and get JE's made. Don't know for sure on price of this.
