I am working on getting this thing torn apart and rebuilt. I am finding a few parts that should be replaced, but replacement parts are hard to find and expensive.
Hot Hemi Heads seems to be about the only game in town for parts but I was wondering what other parts can be modified to work.
They have an aluminum front cover that uses a small block Chevy water pump. They list replacement lifters but I need different push rods for the cheaper lifters. Most of the stuff seems to work out that you spend more money modifying things to use the cheaper parts than just spending the money on the expensive replacement part.
Anyone with any experience working on these things that has advice other than to scrap it and build a small block Chevy, please throw in your 2 cents.
