Todd,
I sure do want to do it right the first time. So I am going to run a stock pump. And an accumulator as well. Are you saying I should or should not run a high pressure spring?
As for the oil cooler, I am going to run one of those too but have never seen a stat set up for one. Is there a spot in some coolers for one or is it in line?

We get a wide rang of temps here in the summer. It could be 50 one day and 95 the next. The winters can get pretty cold but not so bad that I'd need to swap coolant stats. My truck runs 180-195 all year. If I had to guess at an average daily temp JUST A GUESS, maybe 55-60 AVERAGE all year. Highs in the upper 90s and lows in the teens.

I am really trying to look at the finish line hard here. I will beat the crap out of the car at times. I am trying to make sure I put the right combination of parts together to have a very durable ride. I am sure things will fail/break and as that happens I will have to find a way to fix/upgrade whatever it is.

As always, I am wide open to suggestions. Thanks guys!
Eric

PS
Gary, I just noticed you were following the thread on chevelles.com. I posted the parts list there too. I'm glad I made a connection with Mike Lewis over there. There are some really nice cars on that site. Yours is VERY COOL! And for anyone who has not visited that site, there are a bunch of really nice people over there. I'd encourage anyone to go take a look and join up.
