Go to Parts Dinosaur (Google him) for all the stuff you still need to get. It looks like mostly stock stuff. These days, there are only about three vendors out there who I can recommend to any 2GNTer with a clear conscience - Parts Dinosaur, Road Race (RRE), and MachV. Everyone else has let us down.

Parts dinosaur is ill.

I just ordered a head gasket, timing belt, 4 ngk plugs, and head bolts for a grand total of $105 shipped.

Vatozone and unadvanced tried to sell me a timing belt (SA gear too i believe) for $65.

Plugs for $25

Head gasket by itself for a hair under $100.....

I saved so much money by going through PD.

Call and talk to Andy. He'll get you taken care of. Southbend is good people and their service is top-notch.

i highly recommend using the mechanical timing tensioner from partsdinosaur instead of the hydraulic unit from the dealer. i won't ever buy another hydraulic unit.
