I posted this on Narp during the "Great Divide." I am now getting ready to start this project so I figured I'd post here, with the additional suggestions from the folks on Narp.

I picked up a 1911 motor from Grimstead a few weeks ago. I will be replacing my stock 1.7 with the 1911. I also have a set of 44 idfs for that motor too.

So while I am going to swap this motor, I figured I'd check to see what else I should do "while I am in there?" If anyone knows the ball park costs for some of these items, please list it too, as it will help me budget.

I don't want Dirk Wright disease, but I want to take care of any maintenance items while I have the old motor out and am prepping for the new one.

clutch
fuel lines
tranny mounts
engine mounts - ordered
new fuel pump - CB Rotary $60
various jets, and venturis for tuning the carbs - based upon recommendations (32 chokes)
carb gaskets - ordered
new copper head to he gaskets - ordered
new exhaust nuts & studs - ordered
cv gaskets
red loctite (something I need to get for all of this)
oil filter, oil screen and gaskets - ordered
Oil cooler seals - ordered
Push rod tube o-rings. - ordered
trans mainshaft seal and cup bushing in the TOB arm... new bolts for the flywheel if you have it off
A type 1 oil pump that has already had the shaft milled is a great investment if you want to upgrade your oil system & seals.
Check the CV joints and repack them.
Rebuilt alternator (I have a new starter)
Check that right rear suspension point where the trailing arm pivots. Thats below the battery tray and corrodes from the inside out. $??
Alternator belt. - ordered
do andy's jumper wire at the engine relay board to power the pump.

Help me out fellas!

Thanks,
Joe
