Hey guys...mostly hang around and soak up all the knowledge here.....Need some input

99 4x4 360 cid..62000 miles...not a daily driver...Trailmaster leveling kit and 285 BFG tires..B&M deep tranny pan...

Oil was 2 quarts low when i changed the oil the last time(first time its been low at a change)gas milage dropped last fall/winter..only have driven 1-2k in the last yr...Dont think there are any problems with the cat...yet...not throwing any codes
I dont do much towing or hauling so thats not a concern

Swapped out the stock filter with a K@N and went with a 14x3 Edlebrock
Got a plenum plate off the bay for $57 and am going to be doing that in the next couple weeks...Im putting together a list of things to do when its torn down...here is my list

-Plenum fix
-waterpump..not sure if I want to get a high output pump just because...
-double roller timing set
-kegger mod
-180 deg thermostat
-autolite copper plugs (3923's???),accel cap and rotor
-wires?????not sure what brand....any input here???..thinkin bosch
-would like the Hughes 1.7 roller rocker upgrade,50mm throttle body and a cam....but thats more $$$ than I want to spend right now, so maybe later
-If I have the time..Im gonna remove the tranny check valve
-SCT tuner when im done

Dont need the best of everything....but not gonna go cheap either

Any input on brands or anything else i might need would be appreciated from the experts here...

Thanks in advance guys

 

Would that be the harland sharp roller rockers? (they run around 300 for a set....)

Don't need a high flow water pump. Stock output works just fine.

Do the tranny check valve SOON. It can be done for under ten bucks, and may save you a 1500 dollar rebuild.... dirt cheap insurance.

 

you will for sure want to replace the hose that goes from the water pump to the intake without a doubt! it is cheap insurance that will prevent you from having to tear the front of the engine down again.

 

Oops..yeah harland sharps...lol...got lots of brands and such running through my head...
Guess maybe i shoulda done the check valve today instead of the air filter...maybe tomorrow
Noticed your from Adrian...Hello from Toledo

 

Neighbors.

Howdy!

 

I went with the taylor thundervolt 8.2mm wires, seem to have good reviews and their just a hair thinner than msd and $30 cheaper. heres the site i got it from, seemed the cheapest. Also type " carcruise" in the coupon spot and youll get $10 off so its a good deal. they also sell the accel cap and rotor for cheaper than the auto stores.

and that coupon expires on the 26th so id hurry if you decide to get em.

 

good choice on plugs

I got my wires/cap/rotor from summit, they sell a tuneup kit for $52 that includes
them all

Definantly get a bypass hose, and a pcv valve, while your at it you might want to change the valve cover gaskets too

 

be carefull if you remove the trans check valve you will get torque converter drain back.

 

A small price to pay for having that valve out of there.
