Default Christmas in January
This is what I found when I woke up this morning:


The parts fairy had visited me in the night!


My ham of a fist agrees, this is good.


Like the kids from a Christmas Story, I tear into the boxes:

Love it, big smile.


What is it that put a big goofy smile on my face?


THIS

SLP, ARP, Fel-Pro, Edelbrock, Trick-flow, Hughes, Summit. The gangs all here.

Oh and a bonus from the fine folks at the Summit Racing warehouse.

SWEET!


ARP rod, intake, balancer bolts and head studs


MSD wires


Edelbrock mount adaptors

Surprisingly poor quality in the finish. Lots of burs and sharp edges. I will have to clean them up before I install them.

See.


Hughes LS1 flexplate for TH350/400, 700r4 transmissions.


Billet Double roller timing gears and chain


SLP ported oil pump. Impulse buy, could have just gotten a cheap stocker and ported it myself.

Interesting note on the SLP oil pump, it comes with another pressure relief spring to up the oil pressure if needed and a new cap and o-rings too.


K&N Extreme Flow filter...


Something I should have known better, the K&N comes with the required carb stud and hardware...bought some cheapo Summit stuff too. Oh well.
