It is just a bracket motor type build with some upgraded parts. 10.5 shelf pistons from Diamond, 6.70 long Chevy rods, 3.91 crank (SCAT Superlight). I'll be running a big solid solid roller so I went with the Jesel front drive kit (belt drive and belt driven distributor). Trick Flow heads right out of the box, a Victor intake (or Mopar M1 4500) and a 850 DP carb.

The Superlight crank is a little higher end part than most guys use as is the Jesel front kit but neither of those items are "exotic". Just stuff that the typical bracket guy doesn't spend money on.

I haven't sorted out the camshaft yet. The first one I tried might be a bit too big for this engine so I'll try a smaller one next. The pump gas compression makes the cam choice a little more difficult.
