dont mind Adder, his tampon is old and dried up.
Use all the old top-end stuff if you want, but bring them into a machine shop and have it all checked out. Catastrophic engine failures like yours tend to break other things as they go.

Man, seriously, if you're not in a hurry to throw this project together, you'd be better off just collecting all new parts over time and build it very cleanly. Not saying used parts are bad but if you're going to buy a nice crate motor, why slow it down with components that may be worn out and need to be re-built themselves? All of this can be done on a budget if you're willing to stretch out the project timeline. Nobody likes to have to go in and tear down the project they just completed because corners were cut. Quick turnaround is tempting but worth the patience to take it slow in the long run.
