Default My parts pile has begun

First couple of parts were delivered today

LS7 racing lifters and Melling oil pump.

More by the end of the week

Looking at probably 3-4 weeks before I'm running again with the 408, if everything goes well.

Grippy!! I'll race you! You see how quickly you can make that parts pile disappear, and I'll see how fast I can get mine to grow then disappear!

I went with the stock LS7s they seem to be working perfectly well for everyone that has had them.
