Okay, oh knowledgeable ones....
Looks like I'm quite likely going to build up my own 347 using a short block, top end kit, etc... will have the supplier install the cam and a main girdle leaving just "wrench and lube" type work for myself.
In any case, what do I need to look out for in terms of selecting the add-ons and accessories?
Oil pan: I understand that a "double sump" type is needed to fit. Correct? will this work... https://www.cantonracingproducts.com/canton-15-620s-oil-pan-ford-289-302-deep-rear-sump-street-pan-without-scraper/
What water pump style do I need - I've seen options for short vs long and which side the connections are on.
Planning on having A/C along with the alternator - is there enough room in front of the engine to use something like March Peformance Style Track?
What else do I need to be concerned about?
Thanks for your help
Steve
