ok so i'm going to be doing a thunderracing CheaTR H/C swap. i'm going to set the revlimiter to 7k, and i'm going to shift at 6500 or so. i'm prolly going to be getting ARP rod bolts and a new oil pump, but what else would you guys recomend for a 130k engine to accept a H/C w/o any problems. thanks for the help in advance.

Double roller timing set or ls2 chain. Hardened push rods, new lifters and plastic lifter trays.

Have you thought about having the block refreshed, New bearing (cam,crank,rods) cylinder's honed. Maybe new rods and pistions.

If it were me, I'd refreshen the bottom end. Over the years, I've seen to many bearing/ring problems after doing a fresh top end on cars with mileage. Call me paranoid, but that's what I'd do.

Spin a 130k motor to 7grand? If you have the money for the shortblock, better do it.
