[QUOTE="foofinator, post: 16877683, member: 12689"] Yeah, thought about it. At the end of the day, it needs a motor rebuild or replacement anyway, which would dictate the wiring. Wife (yeah, now wife, I said girlfriend earlier) approved a motor. But finding someone to competently build an old mod motor is tougher and tougher (the folks who built my 04's mile engine are done, and Fox Lake, who did the heads, well, he retired), and I'd like the heads and shortblock refreshed. So then it was let's run a coyote motor, but I just traded my coyote car (2015 GT--newest car I ever traded) for the ZL1 because in addition to the ridiculous number of recalls, it started ticking like a typewriter, as some of them do. Some comments I was late responding to and/or takeaways that might help a future member include: (1) I would not do MM coilovers, they pop and what not like mad, made me feel like the car was a POS. The Feal's are silent and ride excellent. I suspect MM's coil over problem was in the hat's objectively Mickey-Mouse needle bearings. Feal was a %1,000 improvement--real coilovers. I'm a little concerned I went with MM for the IRS rebuild instead of FTB, which is what I used on the 04. The relatively cost-effective UPR k-member, on the other hand, is excellent. Just make sure to get an oil-filter relocation kit. (2) The TMI seats look good, but they stain from your clothes (?) and the plastic harness pass-throughs separated while the car was sitting in my garage. So the quality strikes me as exceptionally poor. Within 1k miles of use (or a couple years of sitting), I will have to get I guess some epoxy and some furniture clamps to fix that issue. It's a bit embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
