Other stuff not in there is Twin camchain standard (and to this day have the casting for where the cam used to be) there is actually a dummy cam in the block with a gear on the front which halves the speed of the camchain.

I have raced with these engines for over 10 years and have not had to much hassel with finding parts and the if you know where to look they do not cost a fortune.
p.s I am selling all my twin cam stuff heaps of parts and 3 engines.
