I was on a parts ordering spree for my other car yesterday and snuck some rod bolts in because somebodies Facebook post reminded me that I still need them. FordPartsGiant had them for $1.61 so that was pretty reasonable. This build is pretty low on my priority list since I don't even know what I would put it in at this point, but I would really like to get it done and on the shelf this year. Having a drivetrain waiting for a car makes projects a lot easier to justify.
I need some rod bushings next, then I should have everything I need for the short block. I'll order those after I recover from what I spent yesterday. 🤦♂️
I'm not really sure what my plan is for the top end right this minute, I've got the hardware to do pretty much any configuration I want...I'll probably just do a hybrid with 3.0 cams to keep things as simple as possible for installation.
