I remember seeing it when I first got my car a few years back.  I just spent a good bit of time reading through that entire thread. I will definitely be going through that often as points of reference. The fact that you listed the ring gaps is incredibly helpful. I will be using the same specs for that. I also would like to use similar components. You clearly met that goal of cheap and reliable at 600HP. I have a lot of figuring out to do for a little bit here. Doing a lot of research because some parts back then are simply just unavailable nowadays. I definitely will be doing a 4V cobra or a 3V GT oil pump. Stock cams (For now)Stock bore, depends on when i pull these heads if there's scoring. It did spin a bearing and I am not sure how these walls will look.Coyote/Boss rods will more than likely be my choice, or  These H beams if I wanna spend a little more money <a href="https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kot-011an17593" target="_blank">https://www.summitracing.com/parts/kot-011an17593</a>Pistons , Not sure yet but looking at these, <a href="https://www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_5_36&products_id=81" target="_blank">https://www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_5_36&products_id=81</a>If anyone has a good Recommendations for rings to go with for 600HP and boost setup, plz let me know. I have a stock 8 bolt Windsor crank, and a stock Romeo 6 bolt (Im 75% sure this one will be toast due to the rod bearing.)For hardware. I plan on using OEM for everything besides the mains and rod caps, those will be ARPFord OEM timing set, upgraded tensioners.-------------That's all I've got in my head for parts at the moment, let me know if there's anything else I need to consider. One big question in my head which may be a simple answer is, during reassembly, how do you know where to rotate the camshafts, and the crank  positioning, in order to start putting things back together. I'm assuming the crank will be at the TDC mark then you begin installing rods and pistons?  Then for the cams, do you just slap them on and rotate them when it comes to put the timing chains on? Never built an engine before and i'll 1000% have a Hanes manual open when doing this but just kinda those questions im curious about. Thanks guys.</blockquote>
