Thanks guys! The blower will be getting ported eventually, but after I get some money saved back, and find a set of Cobra rotors.

I also have a Metco Idler pulley from my HD and I am still a Metco dealer if you need any parts.
Really!? What can you get me an Idler relocation kit for?

Are you talking about the Aux Idler pulley? Do you want single or double bearing?

It's the blower pulley idler relocation kit. It comes with two pulleys and a relocation bracket.

I am waiting for Kristi at Metco to call me back, I can not find a relocation kit by Metco. I will let you know as soon as I know something.

Thanks again everybody. I got the Energy Suspension front swaybar bushings and endlinks on earlier this week. I would've gotten the rear done, but I had to replace a tierod end, on top of being sick. While I was working on it, I got a pleasant surprise on the suspension. I had assumed it was a Belltech suspension kit because of the shocks. It appears he either put together his own kit, or sourced a custom kit from somewhere by the looks of the springs....



.....Yep, it has Eibach springs on the front, and from what I've read on Lightningrodder, Hotchkis (2 leafs) springs on the rear. With just the front swaybar kit on, there is a noticable improvement in the handling and steering response. One bit of advice though, if you ever do this upgrade, wear some rubber gloves when applying the lube. It's like trying to wipe wet RTV silicone off of your hands.

Ok, thanks!

QJP, I'm going to have to build some funds back up, and get some other home projects done before I dive into the engine. But when I get some $ put back, I'll take you up on the offer.

Rotors and Hawk pads installed...

Front


Rear



...even while bedding the pads, I could tell a MASSIVE improvement in the stopping power. Even more so after allowing the rotors to cool and stopping normally.
