Maybe, uh, like a certain set of Forgeline wheels I know?

Nope not yet. G wheels, some stock LS1 parts, lots of stuff I have laying around that I will never use, your Q45 ignitor and wiring.

I need a clutch setup, cam, hardened push rods, valve springs and retainers.

Count me in. Probably see you at the winged warrior competition. I have a few friends who are also going to enter.....one with a sr 240 and the other with a rb25 240....that is if he can get it finished in time ...

So , what did you use to prep and paint your subframe? Just wire brush , primer , paint then gloss? Im picking up a subframe tomorrow that has normal surface rust on it and i want to clean it up before i press the bushings in and install it.

Used a wire wheel on all the small spot surface rust. Degreased the entire subframe then scuffed it up with some sand paper then started painting.

I just did the same to the RX-7 we're working on, we did gloss black as well, and on the final two coats we put it on so thick it almost dripped. Ended up filling most of the imperfections so it looks pretty smooth now, I didn't get any pictures though before we bolted it back on.

Any more updates on this coupe, btw? It's been awhile!
