H3 Alpha pan, double chain timing cover, Texas Speed ported oil pump, more than I can remember

Edited to add: PAC1521 springs, PAC keepers and retainers. Moroso or Ward welded valve covers

Never been run.

I've been building it for a twin turbo 71 GMC C15 pick up, but I am getting to the point where I just want to drive the damned thing. The BBC would do that nicely.

Yeah, it's a turbo friendly motor.

I also have FAST fuel rails for it. Edit to add: ARP fasteners through out, head studs, cometic gaskets, etc.

Still edited the other post to add more detail. I have too much into it.

I have a 455 for this. This is what the blown BBC would go into:

I am not surprised.

Can you tell me more about the BBC? Block used (assume it's a 4 bolt main), cam, pistons (forged) etc?

I have a roller lifter retro fit for a BBC that I've meant to use for quite some time.

It does have the roller lifter retro in it. The pistons are forged JE +27cc domes, I can't remember the cam specs... Block was punched .060" with a stock stroke, yielding 468 cubes. I lost the build sheet... I will have to look for it...
I bought it as a long block around 3 years ago... It does have 11:1 compression, so I do have the blower under driven at the moment, but I do have different pulley combo's. The rear with 4.56 gears, will be a blast down the track !
