Finally get to pretend I am one of the cool kids - Holley kit swap

Have you priced a HC water pump? Go have a look and let me know your thoughts :) I'd probably still have to fab other ****, using it too. I just finished fab'n my own throttle pedal mount.. I'll sell the USCT one. I'm sure it's fine for someone else. I just need boot room! There is no damn easy button for me... Please, NO MORE BULLETS

RockAuto is showing one aftermarket one left for under $200. Better than the OEM one for $700+, assuming it isn't junk.

But I don't think it will work without the TC cover and oil pan. So bullet dodged there??

I am convinced though that it would all bolt up and fit though. What I found was $400 for a used TC cover, $200 for an aftermarket WP and $4xx for a different oil pan from Holley and you are golden. So maybe $1200 to put the lower radiator hose off the DS, plus the knowledge that if you ever wanted to run a HC SC, you are only the intake adapter plates and a crank pulley away. :D

I think Dion was suggesting a filter block off on the 90, where the filter goes. Not the block

Correct. It was just a random idea.
