Question Need some help with a couple of engine parts...

I need some help - links would be great and pics would be awesome - on the following parts i still need, the engine assembly starts next week. I prefer NEW parts, if you personally have a part listed you want to sell that is still new, PM me.

Need the following:

Double roller timing chain LS2 style

Oil pan - want something better than stock (truck style)

Quality billet idler pulleys (I will be running at least the ATI 10 rib set up, unless i can get a cog set up for the TVS 2300)

Plug wires - top of the line

160* TStat

90MM TB Harness

Thanks in advance...

I will update list as I get these items... I may need a few more things.

I like Taylor wires, but there are many top quality plug wires available.

For the 90mm TB harness you have 2 choices, TAC module/Speartech harnes, or Dr X harness. Best looking setup is to get the setup you want and re-wire it for looks.

I'd go with an Evans waterless coolant system conventional, Meziere if going electric

Please tell me you are going with a billet steel flexplate?

The stock oil pan is MORE than fine for your application. Save your money and just polish the stock one

There is a reason the stock plug wires cost more than the aftermarket garbage

The only 90mm TB harness I would use is made by w w w .torquerush . com

what are the differences in plug wires that make stock better?
