Comes just as pictured

I purchased this crate motor to put into my 62 Comet and it comes just as pictured all parts installed and ready to rock. The only real let down was lack of information, after contacting Blueprint i was confimed that the carb included is the one that they dynoed with, but they suggest tuning yourself, they also suggest setting timing and going through your own cam break in procedure. Pretty par for the course and overall a great looking engine.

Noticed someone asked about a rear sump option for this engine. Why can't it just be purchased and the pan and pick up changed out?
