My 61 Bugeye racers spun a rod bearing while down at Texas World  Speedway. 
 We are now in the process of rebuilding it and the tranny  because it was 
suffering from jumping out of first gear and had some syncro  issues.  
Engine is 1275 which has not be decked, bored, etc.  Crank  has not been turned 
either.  
The motor and tranny are in excellent shape.
 
Specifically what I am looking for is as follows:
 
Billet Steel Crankshaft, recommendations on what clutch set up to use, also 
 the same on Cam, rod and main bearings, lifters, push rods, flywheel, 
pistons  and what size?  We are working from a bone stock core motor &  
transmisson that 
 
What has the Sprite racers done with regard to oil pan to keep oil around  
the pickup point.  Any windage trays or crank scrappers out there or race  
modified oil pans?
 
I need to get on this as we are going to take the car back down to TWS for  
the first race of the year which is the last week of Feb.
 
Thank you all in advance.
 
Cheers, Gary
