I'm guessing you got rained out again!? Post up when you get some track times I'm very interested to see what this kit will do on 6lbs!

Does the BMR rad cover change the position of the radiator at all, or is it just for looks?

Well you have inspired me. I have been following your thread from almost the beginning and I just recently picked up my Huron Speed kit. That's all I have so far, but I've got all winter to gather the rest of the parts.
I'll be starting on the install here in the next month or two, so if you have any handy tips or trick that you haven't layed out in this thread somewhere, I'd love to hear them!

Did you replace your oil pump while you had your pan out? I figure it's a good time to do it unless the stocker is good enough.

I would replace the oil pump if I were you. My oil pump was replaced long ago with my old setup. I can't remember which one I bought but it is cheap insurance imo.

You will need to remove the front cover and timing chain to replace it.
