    Sorry, but half of these comments are not helpful. 78xcgxl, everyone is well aware that you would put in a 4L. You say it in every crossflow rebuild thread and it is annoying. If you don't like crossflows, don't read about them.
     
    I'd prefer to rebuild a crossflow than install a 4L, but that was not the question.
     
    No reason not to use a 4brl with a hyd. cam (sorry Sly), perhaps not a 650dp though. An engine with that cam will not see more than 5,500rpm and a 465 will be enough. A 500 2brl. will start to limit the engine after 4,500 and won't be as friendly as the 4brl below 2,500rpm. Cost difference isn't great as you wouldn't use a stock mani and carb.
     
    What are you going to do with the car and what rev range do you intend to use mate?
     
    You don't need 200 rods with that sized cam and pistons to suit are $$$ and hard to get.

    Use a tapered punch and work your way up in size until a 1/2" or 3/8" npt hose fitting will fit just inside the tapered hole you made from the punch. Next use a air ratchet or rattle gun to screw the fitting in.
    No sparks, no heat or swarf using my method. Done that on several engines that are still in the car all with success.
