    I known that we use studs for the bottom end and the top, Like paul K said consider some better rods and different pistons. On my 460 build up I have dome pistons, the compression of 13.1.
    And try and stay away from the electric water pumps. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ONE, I CAUGHT HELL, TRYING TO PUT ALL THAT IN THEIR AND WITH THE LARGE RAD, I'M USING I HAD TO GO WITH TWO 13" PUSHER FANS. Not sure how its all going to work out but I sure spent a lot of money and a lot of time fabricating everything. Plus most of the guys here will warn you away from electric water pumps and ford doesn't make any brackets for the alternator, on a bb when using electric water pump, so you will have to fabricate up a bracket as well. If there is a bracket for the bb ford alternator with a electric water pump please let me known.
