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?

Thanks for the link but I did see it same time as you guys. It's now mine.

So a hot rod 3.0 is what I'm building, it's '79SC premo std/std core with nickisils, complete longblock except for flywheel. It was Shaun's personal project till he lucked into a deal on 2-3.2's, so it's suppose to be real nice. I'll should know real soon as he has some shipping deal and I'll have to pick up from the airport.

Went through my 2.7 stash and I already have new ramps, chains, rod bolts and nuts, cam keys and pins, intermediate bearings and tensioner update kit.

Is the opened 2.7 gasket kit any good to me? Is it the same except for the head gaskets? If not I'll sell it with the 2.7 core.

So now I need to sell all the 911 stuff I don't need for phase two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
