Fuzzy dice?

i would get a tranny squared away with clutch/fly etc... Then you can get your motor all together, put it all in get your driveline made and have a finished drivetrain,. Then you can do all the brakes, and accessories for the front of the engine.. my .02

Yes the trans will be the next on the list. After that I guess Ill just knock parts off as they come up.

For the LS drive kit, I am in love with the Wegner set up and we are having a little Bull Run special on them. I can do the natural set up for $2000, Black is a few pennies more.



Obviously the $5300 for the transmission must have been a ready to go complete kit and not a basic kit they advertised. Those set ups can run five grand pretty easy with clutch, hydraulics, etc.

Tobin should be able to handle your Corvette brake package. I think it will be easy to get a hard number from him.

In your list of things you have got already, things I can think of right off you may want and have not mentioned. Popular items. Some of the bigger chunk $$$$$. Some round numbers for complete kits.

Radiator $900
Smoked Glass $750
Power Windows $750
Vintage Air $1100
Tilt Steering $400
Headers $800
Magnaflow Exhaust $500
Fuel System Budget $2000 for stainless tank / pump / filters / hose
Gauges $500 to $800?

Someday I will finish my check list

Call me later if you have questions

Thanks Frank for the list! After seeing it I started shopping for the best prices. Heres a couple I came up with
Aluminum Radiator 67 68 69 Camaro LS1 LS2 DUAL FANS
700.00
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Alumi...Q5fAccessories
Spectre tank with pump
500.00
Drive kit
2k to 2500.00
As for the trans Frank can you give me a list of parts needed? Would it be cheaper to buy the 3k unit and aftermarket parts separate?
Either way looks like Ill be ordering more parts from you Frank.

Why not Franks Radiator? I am just curious to hear both sides on pros/cons here is all ( I have seen post on pro-touring on that rad). Sounds like you might get a good dent put in your list with 17k buddy! Congrats on the sell

[camaro2nv]

I JUST PURCHASED THAT RADIATOR ON EBAY. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT RAN IT YET IT LOOKS LIKE A QUALITY PIECE! PERFECT FOR AN LS2 SWAP (I.E. HOSE OUTLET ON THE CORRECT SIDE) THE FIT IS PERFECT PLUS THE FANS AND BUILT IN TRANS COOLER AT $400 LESS THAN OTHER NAME BRAND SETUPS IS A GOOD OPTION! GOOD JOB ON THE RESEARCH

The ebay Radiator does not look bad at all but I myself would be tempted to ask Frank for a break or maybe run a super special on his radiator We all know it is a good thing to suport vendors and most are willing to work with us if you ask them and you never know till you try they might be able to knock say $50-100 off depending on terms or if sold as a GP item just my thoughts. I can tell you this much 99% vendors here know most are on a budget and times can get tight and are willing to help out if you ask hey saving $10 or $20 bucks can help with another part or taking the kids out for ice cream.
