I'm Awesome
I've got my 350 torn down to the block, and I'm going to rebuild it in phases due to restrictions time and funding. At first I was going to just have the heads done and then put it all back together, but it makes sense to me to go ahead and replace some other parts while I'm at it. the following is my to-do list and the order in which I will be doing it, but I'm wondering if there are some other things I SHOULD do that I might be missing.
Phase 1:
Timing Chain Set
Timing Chain Cover
Water Pump
Phase 2:
Heads <--- Rebuilt
Intake
All head, intake, exhaust manifold, and exhaust flange bolts/studs/nuts will be replaced with new ones.
Thermostat
Distributor <--- New
Drive belt
Phase 3:
Oil Pan Gasket
Oil Filter
Oil Pump <--- New HV unit
Transmission Pan Gasket
Transmission Filter
