[T3] Single relief case VS. Dual relief

["Terry Cost" <tcost@austin.rr.com>]

Howdy All.
    I've just realized that the replacement engine that I purchased for my
'70 Square has an earlier model single relief case instead of the correct
dual relief case. The engine needs a rebuild, but the case looks like it's
in good shape. Is the dual relief case enough better than the single that I
should quit where I am and look for the right case? Am I going to have any
problems if I keep this case with putting on the later model fuel injection
parts? The heads are dual port with the threaded engine temp sensor in the
correct spot on the left head.
    Once I get the case straightened out, what are my best choices for parts
for the rebuild. Should I get the parts "piecemeal" or try to get everything
as a complete kit? I realize that bearings depend on the case, crank, and
rods, but what about the rest?  Thanks in advance as usual for the
forthcoming good advice.
