Bumpstick ordered this morning...
Thunder Racing seems to be having some business issues so I called Geoff @ EPS and bought a 226/234 .598/.601 113+2
His reputation is great and the EPS lobes seem to be very popular so I'm excited to finally get that purchase out of the way.

I am going to look into the whole rocker/spring/cam thing after I get the chassis all sorted out. But wait, I still need to install the new top kit I have been moving around the garage all winter. It may be fall before I finally get to the next step. I really want to drive this thing this year. Seems like I start a big project that takes the car off the road every summer.

I used a Canton pan, 13-274, pickup 13-275 and filter mount 22-631. It all fits very well, even as low as it could get everything the pan hangs about 1/2" below the crossmember. The tie rods just barely left a witness mark on the pan. Best part is no leaks! Moroso also makes a similar pan, but it requires a remote filter mount. I am not sure if the Canton filter plate would work. You could ask Frank at Moroso if he has an alternative.

Sorry, missed the last part. Yes I used Dougs headers and plates with Energy Suspension pads 3-1117G. Also used 3378 frame brackets from carpartsdiscount.com . This was the combination that set the engine the lowest in the chassis. It would not be a big deal to shim everything up for better ground clearance.

Got a few things accomplished today.
Ordered a C5/C6 pressure side P/S line and a generic return with a u-cut hose. The pair were $30 and will be a direct fit on the C5/C6 pump and JGC box.
Also ordered the remote reservoir setup and a pilot bearing.

Looks like you are making headway. My project is at a temporary standstill. I decided to replace the convertible top. That opened a new and bigger can of worms. None of the instruction sheets for the project seem to agree with one another. So like most all other projects I shall charge forward with equal parts brute force and ignorance!
