Wow how did I not see this thread?
Ordered mine from Ebay on 5/4/18.
Delivery is scheduled for Monday.

The only things I've ordered so far:
Motor 12530283
Flywheel SCA FP-350L-SFI
Intake Edelbrock 2116 (I'm running a Quadrajet)

My plan is:
cam/spring swap and replace the timing cover
Stock exhausts - If I have to replace I'll upgrade to Corvette manifolds
Perimeter bolt valve covers
Of course a fuel pump.

FYI: I've read that you don't have to change the balancer, just use the existing reluctor to make a spacer. I will let you guys know what I find out.
Also note: You need to change the gear on your HEI's. Hardened/machined steel Gears are available. You need to measure your shaft diameter to select the correct gear.
