No chance of that, a lot of my stuff is second hand. Look there are a couple scratches on my C&R valve that part would be rejected by QC before making it on Ron's car.

Thanks Ron. Like I said I wish I was on the home stretch like you are and I still have parts envy. My RST doesn't have a gold ring WTF how is it all your parts are more bling, even when they are the same thing?

Love that C&R piece... I see those when I do my weekly "nascar sbc" or similar search on ebay and always wanted to implement that somehow. You done good.

Except if it's a floater then you need a hybrid with C6 parts or you're doomed.

Bummer is moving forward there aren't many parts I need I am likely to score a deal on so my build will likely slow a bit. I still have a big, big parts, shoping list.

Tremec T56 Magnum close ratio
Tilton Hydro throwout bearing
Custom driveshaft and some other small parts for the trans.
Wheels (probably Forgelines) and Michelins Geeze I need to find a $$ tree for those
Custom Radiator sized right with heat exchanger
A bunch of high $$ 16an and12an fittings and oil lines.
Shocks for my chassis Ride tech or JRI
A set of 6 piston 14" Willwoods for my front to match up with my rear set up.
Seats

Yea I know a lot more little nickel and dime stuff just to get it on the track and ugly. Then I have to start saving for Paint and interior.

I like the idea of a packaged cooling system. The ability to control the amount of cooling is needed and the C&R part will get that done. + I needed a remote oil filter anyway and the price was right.

Somebody got some work done on my car this week. I just ordered the parts
