Think I just got a bargain
As I'm early on with my build, what I use for parts is still quite flexible. I bought a blade engine, only to find out it was a restricted
french import, so I've been keeping my eyes open. Just bought a complete 2002 blackkbird engine with rad, oil cooler, downpipes, loom, throttle
bodies etc (no ecu) for £560. Blade kit for sale.

Are going to dry sump it or take it carefully round corners? 
To be honest unless you track-day it a Blackbird engine should be okay..... They do have a tendency for going pop when driven hard on the track though
(apparantly oil flow to bearing no 3 is a bit optional)....

Best idea is to take no.3 piston & rod out b4 you start, saves loads of trouble later on!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Use an Accusump on it. Should be ok for road blasting.

Baffle for sure and run 10% more oil should be fine for the road.
Fit oil pressure guage thats visible if you get fluctuations just fit an accusump 4 pint i had no probs on track or road,
Keep the sump as deep as possible and if modifiying it put in some trap doors to stop oil surging in the sump,
Should be ok then,
