Parts needed

[Greg Coleman]

Hi all Nickey Coleman here, I am finally getting my car back together but I need parts for my 1994 SC, I am looking for the best prises on these parts that I can get.

I am looking for upper body gasket set
ARP head studs
O2 sensors
Thermostate 180
Oil pressure switch
Water temp sensor
Spark plugs
Lower & upper hoses
Bypass hose

ANY HELP LOCATING THE BEST PRISES WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS
NICKEY :) :) :)

Heeeeeeeeeeey Nickey! Glad to hear it! Check out Ed's post at the top of the forum here. He has some stuff priced competitively against the cheap knock-off guys.

Just a thought - you're a little vague with a few of your descriptions. If I may... safe to say the the upper and lower hoses are RAD hoses? The bypass - for the blower or coolant? Also, the "upper body gasket set"? Throttle body, upper plenum, there's a few pieces there that you might want to desribe with a little more detail. I hear "upper body" and, well, never mind. :D

I have a 180* stat for a Lightning - i'll check with Ed if it will fit. If it does then i'll dig it up and it's yours. It has all of 5000 kms on it.

As for the ARP studs - buy them from a RELIABLE source. There's one person that's finding this out now, if i'm not mistaken. Good prices don't always mean speedy delivery.

If you happen to be referring to me on this one, Andrew, Tom came through and I now have my set of ARP head studs.

Cheers,

Sean how much were the head studs? Or should I say how much does he charge for them? I think I'll be getting all the sensors and stuff from Ed anyhow. :D

I got the arp head studs for $220 no tax at Hess performance here in Hagersville. Took him about a week to bring em in.

DO NOT BUY ARP HEADF STUDS FOR THE SC. Make sure to get the ones for a L chevy. I have the part #, but not with me at work. I'll call you this weekend with part # for the correct fitting head studs. I have called ARP, they know about this, but only a few people have called to tell them about the fitting issues.

Oil pressure switch, talk with Ed, get the one for a mustang, and you'll have a real reading.

The water temp sensor, same talk with Ed.

OK thanks,Ill be whaiting for your call. I found upper rad hose for $18.00 and lower for $24.00.I'm almost thinking that I should change the water pump.hmmm :confused:

I ordered the SC head studs and had no issues.... everything fit. The clearances are very close, so you really need to make sure you chase the threads and get them cleaned out though.

I think they were $170 USD including the special "Morana Washers". ...And these really are custom machined washers, not cheap hardware. I think you can get up-to-date pricing off Tom's website (http://www.moranav6racing.com), but there have been a lot of changes there lately, and I'm not sure whether the site is still under construction.

I'm not sure whether Tom uses the SC set from ARP, but I think I recall him saying that he was one of the first to identify that the Chevy kit worked better, so I'm hoping these are the Chevy parts and will not have any fitment issues.

Cheers,

Sean
