    When my motor is out to put on : LT, x pipe, new motor and trans mounts, and new steering rack bushings...

    is there anything else that would add power/ stablility/ anything good for a decent price that would be hard to do when its all put back together?? thanks

    You should get a Canton windage tray and/ or a 7qt oil pan.

    Conton windage trey for sure....requires a little modification to the stock pan though, but worth the $60 or so. PM me before you buy it and I will explain everything.

    i got new mounts already here.. ordered the entire kit from summit energy suspension.. As for pulling the motor, im having it all done by a very trusted shop/ friend. I just didnt feel like getting into it, when i could get a pretty good deal to have it done, with the engine out. ill look into the windege trey, but i dont want a new oil pan. maybe thats something i can do myself after i get her back from the shop..

    as for the flywheel.. the guy told me to get it resurfaced, and aluminum ones arent that great for everyday driving. he said if anything, steel. is this all good and true? im gettin it resurfaced for $35 but is it worth it to step up with a new (aftermarket) one?
