Hi guys,

I was wondering if you can point me int he right direction of a new water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, and heater core. The camshaft he is replacing is an RV1, and a resurfaced crank. I just bought the polyeurothane suspension bushing kit, all the busings ont he car that need to be replaced are in that kit. I got it for $180. now maby some new shocks would be in order?

Thanks,
-Louis

these are pretty standard parts..

you can pick them up at any auto parts store..

if want to go with a high performance water pump..

look at stewart components..

Nope, stock will do it for those. You can go much further if you wish.

my only suggestion for the thermostat is get a failsafe thermostat, ie one that fails open..

and drill three small holes in the outer ring to help bleed the air out. the main diff between a regular thermostat and a high flow is three 1/8" holes
