Love it when big boxes arrive at the door.

I've been collecting parts to reassemble the front end right the first time while the frame is off for sandblasting and epoxy primer. So far I have; quick ratio steering box, new inner and outer tie rod ends, bump stops, coil spring isolators and tall lower ball joints. Still waiting on the SSM tubular upper control arms with tall upper ball joints and poly bushings for the lower arms.

TA Cam Bearing. Buicks tend to melt the front cam bearing when oil pressure issues arise, so I'm covering all my bases. I dont want to go through all the trouble ahead to find out the front bearing is fubar. And if I dont need it, it was $15. Also from TA bought their lifter baffle for my other 350. Lets you do away with the valley pan and run normal 2 piece intake gaskets.

Aren't there a bunch of oil system mods you can do, too? Got those?

Distributor gear oiler, grooved bearings, and oil pump gear thrust plate are all I had on my Buick 455 that went 6000rpm very frequently. Correct bearing clearance is the key.
