I placed an order last night for the Eibach Pro Kit. They shipped already too, super stoked. The install will be going down last week in July when I head down to see my family in NC. My brother in law has a sick garage with a lift. I might place an order for a Sarona front lip today or the zl1 front lip. But I’m more on the Sarona one because I want to paint it white to match the ol girl! [emoji6]

As soon as I get the heads back from BES, she'll have a new heart!

Figured I try to tackle the Hard Hit converter install myself since everything was so easy to access with the upper half of the motor off. Had to buy the trans jack and some taller jack stands. Still saved around $450 to have a shop do it. Got her down and out and ready for the new converter in one day. Not entirely too difficult just takes time, lots of steps.

Heads are at BES now, just waiting for them to do the work and ship them back. Waiting on Jay Greene to send the cam. It'll be a 221/236, will hit almost 7000 rpms. Heads are being ported and milled .040. Will be a monster on MS109😁

Put the new hard hit torque converter in and got the transmission back up in her. That was a chore for sure lining it back up just right. Just need to reattach all the little things like wires, cables, brackets and mounts.

You ever think of upgrading the trans pan?

68233701AA vs 52854834AB trans pan differences?

Anyone know the difference between the two? Did a search for 68233701AA and nothing showed up on the forum. According to SW both fit on my 2017 GT. Planning changing the trans fluid along with the transfer case and front/rear diffs. 68233701AA 52854834AB And then there is this aluminum...

Haven't thought about it. The Dorman's working just fine so far. If I have any problems down the road I'll go back to the factory pan.

A little polish with Griots Perfecting Cream and then 2 coats of GYEON Ceramic. Not bad for an 18 with 75k miles. Also worked with Ronnie at CCI to get new Caliper Covers (I know don't want to start a war on those) because the front two fell off, the magnet scheme is no bueno. The new version uses stainless tie wraps of all things and they are on securely now.

Think the cam, springs & rollers can be replaced w/o pulling the heads?

Springs yes and if done right I think the cam (this I've heard but never looked up). But not the lifters.
