What Mike said, If you live near Texas, see Mummert or give the motor to Tim McMaster. You won't go wrong with any of these guys.

I've been buying from John for 15 years, built a couple stroker motors, wouldn't go anywhere else. Just got another load of his stuff for project #3. Ted Eaton and Vern Schulman (sp?) also come to mind, but I'm a lot closer to John.

+1 for Mummert, he knows the engine and has quality stuff-worth a little extra $ than the bargain basement stuff.

The Y is low density enough that I have had some parts that seemed to be manufactured to "close enough" tolerances.

After trying to go cheap once building my valve train-and having various tolerances and lengths on EVERYTHING-I ended up buying John's stuff-.

When it comes time for a complete tear down, will be buying again.
