Get the service manual on CD from TFS and put it together piece by piece.

2. 3800 SC. Phondawgz wiring harness.

4. There is a long saga of a thread about a guy who designed a nice panel for the Vette lights, then died. People have tried and tried to get someone to use his molds, etc., but calls are not returned and so on.


Do you have a link? I have vette lights laying around I have no plan to use.

I saw that panel. A waste that we won't see it again. It looks amazing. I found my seats a set from an 85 for 75 in good shape

Seat brackets: http://www.summitracing.com...4951090%204294949996

Procar seat, not sure it fits, $170: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sca-80-1606-61l

Haven't located the cheap racing seats this time and computer crashed twice since I saved them.

Different or mechanical fuel pump

Exhaust

Carb and intake manifold

Radiator hoses and pipe?

Are you going to rebuild the 3.4?

Mounts

Cradle?

Much of this is because there was no 2.8 in '84, so it's not as straightforward as replacing a 2.8 with a very similar 3.4. Am I right? Did I miss something?
