The head I got from Earl Edgerton, the Offy intake from a guy in Utah, the Holden single barrel Stromberg carbies from a mate, the aircleaners from Johns Rod & Custom in Melbourne, the Beehive Filter from Diablo Motors in Sydney......the water pump is a 186 Holden pump that came with the 230, the guy I bought the engine from said it was out off an airport tug at Mascot Airport in Sydney, he was gunna throw the 230 in a boat but decided against it, he had a full machine shop and made the round alloy lump that bolts to the original holes, the Holden pump looks like it should work o/k but neither he nor me have had it going so am not sure yet.....lol.......once i can get the water tube out then I'll send the engine off for machining...I have 20thou over pistons/rings, the crank is standard but will need a linnish at least, maybe 10 thou grind.........also slated is a Waggott cam and full balance......bring on the Frods......lol....andyd

Pete, thanks, your engine's the inspiration, you could have saved me some printer cartridge money if you'd have your site available as a paperback or hardcover........lol.....as for the adapter its a neat piece and the Holden water pump is like a small block chev piece over here, very cheap and plentiful, once its all polished it should look good, as for a race part.........do you think I could tell people its an early nascar engine?..........lol.........yeh right was used as a marker post on the daytona beach!..........thanks, andyd

Oops and its an internal bypass engine, so I have to drill the hole in the edgy head don't I?......btw I was able to get a Best brand gasket set that has a steel head gasket, no potential copper gasket/alloy head problems.......andyd

Yup, and your gasket should locate the hole for you. There should be a bulge on the front of the head over where the hole goes.

You can see the bump in this pic, on the left end next to the center head bolt hole-
