3. stage 3 clutch: got it
4. stage 3 pressure plate: got it
5. aluminum flywheel: got it

Addco sells a oversized rear STB!
If you can't buy them where you live , we sell there product line I can get you a price on one if you need it.

What is a ZZP that you are using to replace the front STB with?

Dave,

Sure, what is the price for the ADDCO STB? Shipping would be to Enola, PA 17025.

The ZZP thing is a set of brackets from ZZ Performance. http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...ts1.php?id=139. They are used with the GM front STB for a '97+ Regal. The brackets are basically just adapters to install the bar on an earlier wbody without having to drill anything.

it is never too late

addco makes the rear sway bar, not the strut tower brace. Stock doesn't have a strut tower brace.

[OldSkoolGP]

My list got a lot smaller. I got OBD II done and Ben's ported lower, that's about it this year. Next year may be more interesting....

[dohcfiend]

well this is it for me. the last month of modding for this year:

Update is as follows:

1. finish engine build: longblock en quene
2. port heads: fucking finally done
3. stage 3 clutch: got it
4. stage 3 pressure plate: got it
5. aluminum flywheel: got it
6. coil overs: got it and installed it
7. MMS headers: awaiting arrival
8. wideband kit: got it
9. Megasquirt standalone ems: haven't got it yet but will soon.
10.poly dogbone: got it and installed it.

hopefully early next week the long block will be done and i will assemble everything except the intakes, the starter and the crossover pipe(as i have my doubts on whether or not the headers will be done in time). after that it will be transported to my residence where i can upgrade the tranny and start the swap.

that's all folks for me on new mods this year, now i have to focus on installing and tuning and tuning. if my results are anywhere near my anticipations, it will be definately worth the wait i had to endure.

summary: this year has been the best one for my "project" there is still quite a ways to go as eventually i will have to decide on whether or not to go to the dark side and boost it. but not anytime soon. i am gonna have too much fun with n/a for now.

i do however have a few regrets for this year. i was too strapped for cash to have the aluminum cam covers made, i couldn't find any1 skilled enough to take on custom lower engine mounts. as much as i hate it i may have to go for solid mounts next year if i am unsuccessful again. also i will have to put off my plans for a lsd for a while. money wasn't really the issue, just the idea of removing and sending my tranny off to have it done. perhaps a new "mod" for next year might entail buying a beater to go to work so i can better cope with the prospect of making my gtp a yard ornament.

in closing i was impressed at the turnout on this thread. i really didn't expect to see any new screen names in here but fortunately i was wrong. i am nearly done for this year, so some1 else has to carry the tourch. step it up!!! I WANNA SEE SOME CAMS...

p.s. the long block is done(woo hoo) now it is final assembly.

[Fierobsessed]

Achieved objective #1 Bought the house! (w/ garage!) Schedualed objective #2, moving all my junk in, including the 3.4 DOHC from Long Island to Las Vegas... Progress is good.

Of note,
