Good morning, Guys
Thanks for the replies. I will use the stock holdowns. Anybody have any? I would like to do everything I can while it's on the stand. Caps coated the headers. They did a nice job and gave me a 10% discount when I told them I saw them in the 12 Port News.
My current 250 is not the integral head. I expect I'll need to grind the P/S bracket a bit to fit...My current balancer has a 1/2" space between the grooves and 95,000 miles on it. It appears to be one piece. The rebuilt engine came with a nice balancer with one groove on it and a single groove pulley that bolts to it but there is only a 1/4" space between them. Can I just shim it? If so, Should I use steel or aluminum? The crank has already been drilled and tapped. How about the fuel pump? Will I see any benefit from using a 292 pump? Future plans call for Larry lump porting my spare head and installing bigger valves, switching to a 700R4 and changing the gear ratio.
Best Regards,
Chris
