engine component questions

No opinions you guys? come on... dont be shy

I am personally am not a big fan of full flow oil pump covers unless the case has been tapped and you plug the pump discharge passage. Another thing that has me worried is the stock rocker arm setup, I'd go with solid because I've had problems with the spring washers breaking on some stockers that I've run, let alone a 1914 with a w-120. I think the stock cooling won't be enough but maybe if you keep the compression ratio low enough you'll be alright. I know I didn't answer everything but that's a few things that screamed out at me. Good luck.

What 'screamed out to me' was the fact that you don't have your used type 1 case align bored because 'it looks good'.
I don't want to underestimate your skills of course, but I suggest you let an experienced engine builder have a look at your case since it turns out that almost 100% of all 30+ years old type 1 cases are better of with an align bore.

Take care,

The full flow kit IS NOT a cover/filteradaptor in one... what a pile of crap those are. Its a real drill and tap the case type.

I am sending the case to Rimco to have it bored out, im sure i can have them look at the bearing saddles there.
