After all is said and done, I decided I couldn't justify the extra $1000 for
the TIICO kit, so I ordered an engine with ported and polished heads from
Boston Bob.

He's supplying a clutch,  I'm going to get a complete coolant hose kit, a
new coolant distributor and a fuel line kit.  My mechanic is doing the work,
but while everything is out, can anyone suggest other things that would be
easier, or should be done at the same time?

I can think of cleaning all of the grounds in the engine compartment and
replacing any worn belts, but that's about it.

One other possibility would be putting in the extensionfor an oil pressure
gauge while the engine is easily accessible, even if I don't connect one
right away.

If I did, would it be best to use the flexible line, or use some brass
fittings?

Any suggestions gratefully accepted!
