I have already upgraded the suspension and did a C5 conversion on the front brakes and calipers. Now on a spending spree with the engine.
The car I have owned since 2000 and has 110,000 miles.

Below is what is on its way and I hope to get an idea of whats inside once the motor is dropped. I am just trying to be proactive and have everything thats needed on hand if possible.

Hoping maybe someone wold take a glance. Offer suggestions. Any parts I might want to take and get painted? Missing anything? Anything would be appreciated. The Motor I will have someone with better skills then myself rebuilding and with research here and a few more suggestions this is what I have for a list. I was suggested to go a different direction with the heads but the guys at Texas Speed were helpful and I could have saved about $400-600 with different heads and multiple vendors but this is already on it way.

See anything wrong? Anything you might add? Hoping to see 550+ HP at the flywheel and maybe 425-450 at the wheels

Next will be dealing with the Auto Trans and rear

Maybe some upgraded valve springs (unless I missed it in your list).

Enjoy the upgrades! I can't wait to do something like this one day

Damn, that's pretty clean under there, especially for 110,000 miles!

Might want to consider a trunion kit if your using the stock rockers. Also a fuel pump with a hotwire kit. Not sure if you are gonna get enough fuel with the stocker with that set up. Also pushrods but measure 1st then order what you will need. Don't guess.
Not sure what gears your running in the rear. Did they recommend a 3.73 or 4.10 with that cam? Not sure it's necessary but may be getting as I'm no cam expert but you may be getting into that area with that cam.

Edit: If auto gonna definitely need a new torque converter.

Ron Duszak

torquer converter? As far as the rear I do not have plans yet as I will see where I am. The motor and trans will both be complete hopefully by the end of the month. Full trans rebuild and 3600 stall converter is probable.

certainly a tune immediately after rebuild or soon as possible and deal with new rear or rebuild this winter.

Far as pushrods I did discuss with Texas speed and did get some pretty good assistance from a fellow named Derek. Great help but man to use a credit card were they ever thorough.

Getting even cleaner under there with the best helpers on the planet.

im not sold on SLPs flowpac. i have their CAI. imo theres better ram air or cold air options.

BSmiff

Definitely talk to whoever you prefer for converter but if youre running on motor anywhere between a 3600-4000 will work. My converter feels really good. Can barely tell its in there unless im on a hill under 50 mph. PM me if you want some details.
