Already have it in storage. When I bought it in June, it was my understanding there were still 4 more available in Canada.

I was gonna say you're screwed for getting an Aluminator, but you already have it. You have some serious money invested.

Oh ok, I wasn't able to see the entire list on the phone with the "inventory" marked next to it.

Looks like a solid build. I enjoy seeing everything fully outlined, it makes for a great layout to share. :thumb:

Wow. That is quite the list. Did you get the spacer (part# 954078) with the ATI damper? I needed one to keep from rubbing on the front cover. I would also suggest ATI damper bolt #206-1001 instead of #156-2501. It is longer & the 156-2501 did not have many threads making contact when I used the same damper.

If you are interested in the Livernois Stage 3 heads, BBR stage 2 cams, & ARP head bolts (all used) shoot me a PM.

Looks like an awesome build for just "bragging rights"!

Thanks, for the information on the spacer (part #954078) I missed it! I was aware of the #206-1001 damper bolt (Mini Cooper) but was under the impression that it was only required with an Innovators West Inc damper. Thanks again.

Just for “bragging rights”, what can I say tinkering is a hobby and I did get all of the ¼ mile stuff out of my system in the early 70’s with a NHRA G/Gas BOSS 302 powered Comet.

PM sent.

Kelly, I am sure there is a record and pretty sure I do not have it. But clearly I am having fun trying! As you are well aware, this hobby of ours is a true addiction. When approached one day at a time over a few years the bite on the wallet is marginally palatable. Having said that for car shows I have three binders that contain details on all of the mods to my car. The first two cover a page for each mod by category – engine/under hood, suspension, driveline, interior, exterior, wheels tires & brakes. The third is my purchase history and I quote from the binders cover: “The $Buck$ Stops Here – Purchase History. If You See My Wife Coming Save My Life and Hide This Book!”

Yes, my Xtreme Anti-Roll Bar was shipped with the wrong “saddles” and your team got me the right ones out quickly. Thanks again!
