shorthood2006,

I don't know where to find a 'kit'. If you haven't torn the engine down yet to measure the bore, rods and mains, it will be pretty tough to figure out where you are going with this rebuild.

If you were to find a 'kit' with say, STD main bearings, then had a machine shop tell you the crank needed to be ground .010 under, you might be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

This is how I see the situation...but I might have bum vision...OR, you might already know exactly what you need!

Stuart

Talk to Patrick Dykes... he has or can get all the parts you need for a rebuild or a hop up. I got some venolia pistons from him several years ago. They were so pretty it was almost a shame to bury them in my 302.
