Just found two problems when taking it apart and putting it back together-1-they had flywheel on wrong anf the waterpump shafts seal was broke which in turn bent the pully. 2-They had used a 454 waterpump pully and lucky i had a spare 454 pully just like it(1/2inch smaller than stock 350). Did also notice the balancer pully was underdriven also-stock 350 is 7 3/4 and this one is 6 1/2---so thats good.

Think it will rust up??? I know it will !!! Get some paint on it. IF you like that unpainted look, they also sell that color in hi temp. Machines shops use it alot to primary coat heads after a valve job.
