What sort of things are a concern if adding the following to a stock 200 and c-4 with approx 95k miles. Is it a bad idea to not rebuild?
Aluminum head
YT roller rockers
Cam 264/264-109
Weber 38/38 DGS-2V
Dual Roller Timing Chain
Weber Fuel Pressure Regulator
D.U.I. distributor
Edit: Changed to a 250 build and T-5 trans. Component changes are in the thread.
Current list of things to do along with a pic of the lower radiator hose and vbelt installed. Again I've never done 99% of these things so any advice is welcome. Youtube has been my friend on this journey.
X Radiator Lower Hose- installed
X V-belt model Dayco 15485 Top Cog- installed
X Electric Choke installed no longer a choke delete (no room for a manual or electric choke so going without one, I can close it manually to start if need be but I'll just feather the gas to get her warmed up. Need to cover the vacuum port on the choke side, the manual choke I bought had a lead ball to do it with but I don't want a permanent solution so may just use some strong tape like gorilla tape to seal it off)
X Starter Powermaster 9503 (probably next thing I'm gonna do, requires some wiring modifications (longer wires)
X Fuel Line (needs relocation) taking line to advance auto and buying a longer one - ez and coming right up as well
X Pedal Assemblies (using air cutter to modify stock brake pedal and installing MDL clutch pedal)
X Driveshaft & Yolk (gonna need to get her to a driveshaft shop for this one)
X Wiring in for reverse lights (small adapter available and need to order)
X Exhaust has to be re-bent to fit properly since engine was dropped and it's too close to the Bellhousing (gonna try to install it myself and if no dice I'll go to an exhaust shop)
X Modify for the speedometer cable (have the Modern Drivelines kit and will install it myself)
X Route air cleaner (gonna do this nearly last to avoid removing it constantly)
X Cutout for the clutch cylinder and install clutch cylinder (I'll find a firewall location for this, currently calls for cutting the firewall where the front brakeline distribution block is and I'm not re-routing that if I can help it, instructions call for that location because it would be "compatible with all clutch setups", no thanks)
X Fabricate accelerator linkage (cross this bridge toward the end)
X Alternator wiring has to be stretched to opposite side of engine bay (need to get wire and spades to extend wiring to other side)
X Distributor wiring
X Intake Manifold vacuum port hole, need to plug it.
Edit: Updated with completed items.
