thanks Larry, yes you would be correct on the rod & main bearings.

I am sentimental about the intake as I got it from Larry Green AKA 340shorty a few days before he passed away. since it is a Holley intake only fitting it have a Holley carb.

I am trying to decide what rear main seal to use. in both of the 90-91 318s I have I found the rope seal. but in all my gasket set I have the newer replacement seal. once decided or NOS Mopar rope seals found I will drop in the crank and pistons and get the bottom end buttoned up.

ordering up 16 NOS/NIB Mopar roller lifter & PR package. 11$ each on ebag. I ordered up a Mopar t-chain tensioner/chain/gears from the local Mopar dealer.
