Just a little rant about some of the parts I've had to use. I'm building an 8BA for a customer. He bought a new production front cover and a fluidamper. The new cover would not allow the distributor to go in. The fluidamper would not fit the crank because the bore was too small. Building a 59A with Edelbrock heads and an Edelbrock Slingshot manifold. The manifold did not fit. The boss for the exhaust crossover interfered with the right head, Had to grind 1/8 to 3/16" off to allow me to bolt it on. Then the fuel pump interfered with the intake runner, so had to grind material off the bottom of the pump. Last but not least, went to bolt some new water pumps on and the two top bolts would not clear the pulley. Had to use socket head cap screws and they barely cleared. Gets very frustrating.
