Daily Driver No Longer

JARblue · 04-30-2019, 03:06 PM

Tomorrow or at least sometime this week I'm going to meet with Kevin to try and put some organization to this build process. The labor costs are adding up quick, so I'm rethinking some DIY stuff.

What I really don't want to do myself is the stuff behind the timing cover (oil galley gaskets and oil pump gears), new clutch and CMAK, CJM fuel system items, and new differential (plus SPL diff and subframe bushings).

I'm looking to DIY the oil cooler, brake ducts, SPL FUCAs, ARC coolant reservoir and catch cans. I already have all those parts but I figure it makes sense to do all of those after I have Kevin do his work.

One consideration that just came up the other day... instead of getting TPs I have an opportunity to purchase some used LTHs. I think they are FI. Anyone think it's a bad idea? Either way I think it makes sense to do TP/LTH when Kevin pulls the motor and trans.
