Default parts order: did I forget anything

I got carried away with "while this is out, let's replace this other thing"
Here's what I ordered:
1. Bowtie stage 2 2004r w/ 1800 stall, TV setup, shifter kit, crossmember, speedo gear
2. Mid America Chambered exhaust for headers
3. Dynomax ceramic coated headers w/ a/c bracket
4. 3" to 2.5" reducers
4. H pipe
5. 4 Row radiator (will be sent up with car)
6. Comp Cams Magnum 270H kit with springs, lifters, double roller timing chain, gasket kit.
7. 14" pusher fan for front of condensor.

All being shipped to Van Steel for install: Dan, you guys ready for this ?

I don't have time for the install myself AND I want it done right the first time. Van Steel are the guys to help in those situations.

I planned on a Demon carb and intake, but the tranny stuff was a little more than anticipated.

You are going to love the trans when you drive it. What rear gear do you have? I have 3.55 and it is great off the line and 2200rpm's at 70 helps with gas (all though I have no idea what the gas mileage is) and road noise.

3.36. I know it'll be a little slower off the line, but I used to have 3.70's and didn't get hurt too much by the lower ratio. The lower 1st gear of the 2004r should compensate nicely.

No, sounds like your ordered the entire catalog ! I'm getting dizzy thinking about all of those parts. Let us know how it turns out after the install.

I also went with the 2200 stall. It's hard not to chirp the tires when it shifts from 1st to 2nd. You RPM's should look even better on the highway. Like I siad before, Your going to love to drive it when its done.
