Bob,
If you have to pay anything like retail for the long studs and hold down plates even second-hand retail forget it. If you are good at scrounging, you might be OK. I've been down this path and it is far cheaper to buy a late model engine and start from there.
I have a narrow deck case in an engine shop at the moment. They want to change the main bearing pegs because they think they can't get the early bearing shells. They also wanted to machine the oil pressure relief valve housing to accomodate the later oil pressure relief valve which I managed to talk them out of. Not being so sure of my ground on the bearing pegs, the case just sits there.
Just think hard before spending the money.
Cheers,
Andrew.
