Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your 92. No your not to far in and if you can do the work yourself those jobs won't cost very much.

Default my 92 vette

I guess i will keep the vette. It should be in good shape after i get it back.I know 2000 is a lot to pay for cap,wires hoses plugs water pump, and o2 sensor.I used to build engines in ca years ago, but don't have the place or tools to do it right these days.I thought it would be a regular small block Chevy water pump,but it is obviously not. I'm in just under 8000 all together in the car, but it is in good shape, so i should try to enjoy it. right???
