Default summit order advice

I'm about to order my parts for fall install because summit is giving 10% off until the 7th (discount code N54103). So far I've decided on a 268xe cam, and 1.52 magnum roller rockers. Any other suggestions on stuff to get while I'm at it, I have heads, headers, exhaust, intake, waiting to be put on. I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on a windage tray, L48's dont have one I'd assume

You didn't mention a carb? :confused: Don't forget all the gaskets, head, intake, header collector and header. Fuel pump? ARP head & intake bolts. Stage 8 locking header bolts? New mini starter? What's your price limit? I can spend other peoples money as well as my own. :lol:

complete bolt and gasket kit as a minimum.... :yesnod:

engine mount, wires, plugs would be good to replace while you have good access... :chevy

I would also suggest some ARP rocker studs and rocker locks. Simple rocker studs are not usually ground flat on top and the locks don't hold their adjustment very well. If you haven't ordered already, I would also recommend gaskets. High quality reusable gaskets for the valve covers are particularly nice. I really like using studs for the header mounts. Made header installation on a small block a piece of cake. I still use them on my BB, but the engine must be raised up slightly for the header flange to clear the studs.

I don't use a windage tray on mine and don't really intend to get one later.
