i found this late last night. i will be picking that kit up along with a few other goodies that pcmforless offers. he has some good prices going on over there. piecing that kit together on summit is around $60Originally Posted by jake_03

PCMforless got my business on the cam gear/bolts/tentioner. they had a kit set up for a great price and it got rid of the spring tentioner that is prone to fail. got it for 45 bux. also went ahead and grabbed up a crank bolt, pump gaskets, and timing chain cover gasket (around crank). ended up with a 98.61 tab after shipping.
i feel like i got raped on my motor/trans mount, but it should all be bolt in and comes with polyurithane bushings. BRP hotrods offers a 10% discount to tech members. the mounts and crossmember set me back $468 shipped. i went ahead and bit the bullet on these since i got the hedman headers that are made from this mount kit.
i feel like i made out decent on the headers from summit racing 739.46 shipped for 1 7/8 longtubes ceramic coated.
wellll, i suck at being patient lol. what i originally planned to finish in december may be running by the end of the summer. my last big purchases are springs, converter and the trans rebuild/upgrades. i have a few different size pushrods laying around the garage that will hopefully work. the silverado will be donating the 40,000 cooler that it no longer needs. the silverado will also probably donate the rear end. Vince should have the transmission withing the next 2 weeks or so. i'm sure the rest of the build will nickel and dime me to death. last weekend i spent close to 100 on plugs, loctite, oil filter, paint, antisieze, bolts....the nickel dime that adds up REALLY fast.
here is the little bit that i got done over the weekend. cam is installed.
prep
prime
painted

took care of the rear end last weekend. ford 8.8 rear end is replacing the 7.5 that came in this truck. factory 31 spline axles, 4.10 gears and a limited slip diff. it came with all of the disk brakes so that will be a nice upgrade from the drums that are currently on the truck. picked it all up for 325.

trans brake is here, waiting to hear back from my trans-builder so i can have this lvl7 rebuilt with the trans brake. just finished my order for the traction bars. calvert monoleaf with 2" drop and the traction bars along with the ubolts to fit this 8.8 rear end.
oh i almost totally forgot...i got a set of TEA CNC trick-flow 225 heads along with yellow terra rockers and some pushrods.
