My tristar 351w crate engine should arrive early next week. In an attempt to get all of my ducts in a row, I have started gathering all of my engine accessories and anything else that I can think of that will help facilitate my first start hopefully next weekend. Here is a list of what I have gathered so far.
Edelbrock mechanical fuel pump
79 LTD water pump (drivers side lower inlet for my application)
28oz flywheel
Flywheel bolts
Bellhousing to block bolts
Transmission spacer plate
Msd 6al
Blaster 2 coil
100amp alternator from cvf racing
Pulley set with spacer from cvf racing (includes belt)
I have a starter, clutch, pressure plate, and transmission as well.
Is there anything that I am leaving out?? I will grab the recommended oil once the engine arrives for break in. I will also grab transmission fluid as well. Do you guys have any tips or advice on prepping for a first start? The engine will have been dynod prior to arrival so it should not take much to get it dialed in.
Thanks for any help.
