Those stud girdles are very nice. How high do you think you might be revving the engine?

Motor looks good, where/who did you get the perimiter bolt conversion from?

the water pump is a rebuild, the guy that rebuilt it said he put high grade bearings in it. thats why i said it is upgraded. they dont sell them that way.
