The Ebay kit is great from the talk on these forums but at almost $1000 it is too much for me. I would rather peice together my own kit. Although the kit on ebay is all bolt on IIRC. Depends on how good you are with a welder. If you can weld then get the parts from a junk yard or parts store and read the how-to in the tech articles. You may be able to save a few $$'s. Just my $.02

Dieingford, I agree, Ive been scrounging or making parts for this swap for a while...Ive got hardly any $$$ into it. The only thing Ill prob buy new will be a pump. Cheap enough and a little piece of mind...

That's the next project after my 446 stroker with a 8-71 blower is finished. How much do you have into it if you don't mind me asking. I will be getting a new pump also but using used parts for the rest I think.
