Front brake pads, new shift boot for sure.

Then putting a new motor in the camaro.

Then Wbo2, boost gauge, and off road test pipe, in that order, based on how much extra change I've got after the engine swap.

David, I'd be interested to discuss the mc issue with you. On or off line.

We shall see, the cylinder head will be machined, new head studs will be fitted, the motor may even be rebuilt (rod bearings, rod bolts, piston rings, reseal, etc.).

Pull engine
Fix some oil leaks, one of which will require some thread repair.
Pull head and see why I've been pressurizing the coolant system.
If there's time, I'll start on making a larger exhaust.
Set the Tec-3 up for data logging
Add bungs for thermocouples.
Install and wire said thermocouples in with the Zeitronics
Splice Zeitronics and AVC-R into TEC wiring harness.
Maybe some new rear suspension bushings.
CV joints need to rebuilt or replaced.
Inner and outer tie rods.

Belts, Bypass Exhaust Pipe, M030 Sway bars (if LR puts them on sale again for Christmas), Fuel Gauge, "Old School" ADS PQ amp and Boston Acoustic speakers, 3 or 4 inch DIY catback exhaust, LR Billet Non-Adjustable Style Bypass Valve and any other thing I can afford to do both with the allotted time and money.

Adjusting the brake pedal height affects the pin/pushrod going into my hydroboost unit, which can cause the brakes to drag.

Easier to add the height extension to the gas pedal instead...
