hey guys looks like i can make it to the silver dinner in fair oaks.... Let see if i can get out of here todau before some dumb user has a security violation. I'll have to stay for it if it happens.
i'll be vetteless also. My CE is down for the count...blown water pump again.

I'm looking at going with a electric Meirze heavy duty 210 (55gpm)water pump. It's around $200 bucks. Any of you guys have any input on this?
I should swap in a LT4 hot cam since i'll have it apart, changing water pump and opti spark. Change out the LT4 oem timing chain which is a heavy chain to a double roller, you can do this when you swap out to an electric pump.

Then buy rob's heads and i'll be set.....

How busy are you over the next few weeks. You can come over and help with my motor swap and we can take out your pump and cam install as well. I did the electric pump swap in germany by myself. No problems. Only took a few hours. I can help with the swap if you want.

Yes, I have a nice set of LPE heads for sale, LPE 219 cam and 52mm BBK Throttle body, and shortie headers w/random tech cats. With this combo i'm putting down 354rwhp. I hope to put down 400+rwhp with my new 383 setup!

new setup is a 11.2 compression SDPC long block with LPE heads, 847 cam, LPE manifold, 58mm ASM throttle body, & EM long tubes.

sounds like you need to open another account and change your direct deposit. Tell her they are cutting everyone's pay by 1000 per month.
