Ok, so it seems that most have success with factory Corvette manifolds. I'm more about dependability than generating a few extra ponies - oh and I'm all for the cost benefit of going oem.
I appreciate everyone who has provided input so far. This is going to take a while, so don't hold your...
I'm expecting to need new manifolds. I have a set, but I have no idea their source. Most people seem to find used Corvette manifolds, but is there a reason most don't run something aftermarket? Is it the cost or something I'm missing?
Actually, I'm spending most of my time trolling other...
I'm actually in StL - St. Louis. I do live in county which requires emission testing, but nothing before '96, so I should be good. We do safety inspections here, but they don't care much about what's under the hood so long as it's older than '96 - or so I was told when I got my car...
Well I know the transmission is from an '03 standard duty, 5.7, Dodge 4x4, thank you AA for a wonderful website, so I've got that going for me. I did give me an invoice, a very generic invoice, a very waste-of-my-time-this-is-b/s invoice, right after he shipped the truck and before he stopped...
I've never thought about going to the clubhouse, Elbert. Great idea. There's not a whole lot of LC activity here in Missouri, my service writer buddy just now stopped calling it a Land Rover..., but at the very least I could open potential dialog.
Thanks for the words ander42b. It's tough not to get down on the lost $$, but it is what it is now.
Re: 1. - Good eye. I'd been searching those transmission numbers on Chevy sites, even though he initially told me we got a Dodge unit. He went back and forth, but I just assumed (that rarely...
Thanks for the tips everyone and for the ever so rosy picture from dbleon.
The motor mounts are in, but no transfer case cross member - nothing. I'm not sure if I'll have to have something fab'd up or if the stock unit will work, but i'd have to get one.
Thanks so much. The wife and I had a...
Hey Everyone - Long time no see.
Take a look at the thread I started last week for a refresher/background.

i've decided I'm going to do as much as I am capable, but here's the deal. I don't know...
I just used National Transport LLC to get my truck from Denver to StL. I called on Wednesday and had it by Sunday. I would've had to borrow my father-in-law's truck, lose 24hrs for the 1,800 miles, pay for gas, food, and sleeping for anything cheaper than the $940 they charged me for a truck...
