Bullet-proofing bottom end

CYA sorta..no pun intended

Starting to put my winter project together,and am hoping for advise/help on building as bullet proof set of cases possible..hopefully that will last 300K.
Any tricks/techniques/brand of bearings,wheels,rods.. racers knowledge..What Ive done so far is bought a belt drive primary,blocked off speedo drive..its a 1972 set. The reason for belt primary is this is my last set of cases,and a broke belt wouldn't destroy them the way a chain would/can way I see it.Same for the speedo plug..Considering a Trock tranny door also..?
Thanks for reading..and any suggestions!!

Sorry you did not get any responses here. Could not help with this myself. Sounds like you got it done well.
