That depends on how you plan on building. The Burtz kit has 5 main journals for crank and camshaft. It’s pressure oil lubed. The crankshaft is, dynamically balanced, counterweighted on each side of all 4 new forged rods. It takes a takes a radial lip seal in the rear. You can either install a 3 journal camshaft or 5 journal cam. All of the inserts are the same as a small block Chevy with 2” journal on the rods and mains.
I have over 12,000 miles on my Burtz engine that runs better than my old A engine with less vibration and smoother quieter. As far as I’m concerned you get a lot more bang for your buck with a Burtz kit. I’m getting another Burtz for my pickup beings the engine that’s in it is tired and I’m not wasting money on a tired and stressed block, crank, rods etc engine.
