They probably quoted you a new harmonic balancer for $500. You need the lower timing gear- it should be much cheaper. EDIT: dangit poodles, you beat me to it.

Hey, hey, hey! I got my radiator today, and it actually fits!!! In celebration, I took some pictures and started mocking up my intercooler for brackets! Comparison of the new and old I/C

Beautiful, Sean. Next question- Will the AEM do a good enough job scaling the stock map to run 550's or 720's for initial break-in, or am I better off staying factory ems and then swap it over during the winter build-up? I'll be likely running an aem 3.5 bar map, gm ait, and that's as far...

My dealer still sells them, usually $35 for the set (doesn't mean your local dealer will stock them, though). You'll need to bring them in to match them up, too.

I don't see why not, I've re-keyed all kinds of lock cylinders from all positions on Toyota cars and trucks. I will say that door lock cyls tend to be tough, as corrosion usually gums/seizes up the inner workings and makes disassembly not so fun. Why the re-key?

+1 stock flywheel. Ninja edit: I would probably machine it.

Just go out to Ebay again and get a oil feed + drain kit. Doesn't have to be the best, but it'll be better than trying to re-use the stock lines. You will need an adapter to go from the block feed to -4an, though. oil line kit Something like that might do well, just get an adapter for the oil...

I'd replace a lot of the coolant hoses, too. That crap has a tendancy to weaken and swell the crap out of them, and then they blow at the worst moments...

I vote for both. I will lose both, but it's still a challenge.

I think my car running right for the first time in a year would be pretty epic in and of itself. But yes, I think a race would be sweet regardless. By then, Rob's car should be up to your level, I would hope...

Yep, I'm kicking myself in the head for that. For some reason I thought Summit had them on backorder when I was checking them out. Oh well. It'll get done eventually, I just might not get to drive it this year. :(

Hey, we're dealing with the same problem! We even dealt with the same guy, Chris! I'm still waiting for my radiator to arrive, I hope it's better than the one I got. At least your upper supports were in the right spot! The lowers on mine didn't line up right, either. I would figure that augering...

OK, so I got some parts in today, and I want to share my happiness with you all! -and a little frustration...- I got my AEM EMS, and I got a mint harness as a part of that deal. Got a bonus of RC injector clips being soldered onto it already. I also got a good O2 sensor, a knock sensor and a...

Ha ha, that's what you get from cheap tires. Nice for burnouts, though ;)

It is. I think you're supposed to use the distribution block (link #1) and then thread the adapter (link #2) into it.

My bushings took 2 weeks to arrive, but my engine was out, so it didn't matter to me how long it took.

I had one of those fall out of my 91 tail light, iirc it was a reflector for the turn signal or the brake light. I'll go out and take a pic if I can get to it. EDIT: OK I am full of fail today, it is a reflector for the reverse light, and it mounts to the top of the lens housing in my 91...

^^ Full of Win!

OK, so you're in the lead, my valve springs tested weak, so I'm ordering some BBC springs. I do agree on taking all the time you need to measure and document the clearances, though. I'm going to design a spec sheet the lays it all out idiot-proof style.

Ah, but I have no radiator, and I need to put it together, and I need to wait for the new harness, and, and, and... I think it will be a good race- we both are missing large pieces of the puzzle.
