The itch and restraint...
So I arrived home just now and the first of a number of parts for my upcoming h/c swap arrived. The ASA cam and new Z06 springs were waiting on my doorstep. :cool:
I had planned to wait until at least getting a new oil pump, timing chain and udp before putting it in, but with an open 3-day weekend staring me in the face, I'm very tempted to change those plans. My car only has 35k on it, so I don't technically *need* those parts, but...
Agghhh!!! :D

I would not hesitate to start - when you have extra time things always go better. It took me only about 15 to 18 hours to do my Cam and header swap but it was over about 3 weeks. The extra time I took allowed me to keep my head clear whenever I ran into a problem.
If I had to do it again I think I could do it in half the time!!!!

Sometimes it is more fun to mod the car than to drive it...
Wrenching is fun! More so when you don't have to worry about getting it back together to drive to work.
