Looking into getting a complete Banski adjustable suspension and Van Steel Coil-overs for ultimate adjustability.

I used that Milodon Diamond Stripper windage tray in my 96; it's a huge improvement over the OEM windage tray which was the same as the one in my 61. Nice upgrade.

That looks great. What did it cost you. Forum vendor does that also but way to price for me. Maybe they are a little more reasonable.

The bezel was 209 i believe, but that includes the price of a brand new bezel and return shipping cost.

Picked up a Kevko 1092 NRH Race Oil Pan with internal Windage tray. Won't be using the Gold Milodon one. Will Post windage tray in the FS section

Did you talk with Kevko about using the Milodon tray with their pan? The Kevko pan has a louvered tray integral.

Very impressive build, quite a lot of work...out of curiosity why not have just bought a manual c4 instead of doing all that?

I honestly got a stupid deal on the car for 3000. One owner here in long island. Car needed some work it I work as a tech for a living so was no big deal. I didn't expect the engine to let go so soon though but was no big deal. When the engine blew I decided to make it my resto project, adding the M6 and D44 for upgrades.

Nice job. I think you made a good choice rebuilding instead going the LSx route. Although I would of liked to have purchased the block. LOL

Thanks lol, yea i know I was really up in the air for about 2 weeks on it. I could've gotten a cheap LS1 but after matching it to the ZF and all the wiring it would've set me back budget wise anyway. I also really wanted to keep the stock gauges too. Hopefully In the next few weeks I have a lot more pics and stuff to share.
