Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I'm probably not going to do much to try to increase performance, but things that will help fuel economy and overall reliability mainly.
If I ever win the lottery I'll definitely turbo it though! Lol.
I actually checked the prices of the stuff I got from zzp, and they were actually pretty close to rockauto for the stuff I got.
I did look into shift kits and am going to order the trans go shift kit. 10 bucks more than wbody stores, and includes quite a bit more. I'll get the fluid and filter locally probably.
I did get my brake parts, had a hell of a time finding banjo bolts, but I did get them from Napa. M10x1.0. Drilled the caliper mounting bolts out and tapped with a m14x2 tap.
I got the drivers side all installed(using the fbody pass side caliper) and I felt like I was going to strip out the threads on the caliper installing the brake line, so I didn't go as tight as I would have liked.
Installing the passenger side, I got about 1/4 a turn on the banjo bolt, and ripped the threads right out of the caliper.... Phone call to autoanything and they agreed to put in a warranty claim, but it sounds like they are going to try to blame it on me...
So anyway, driving with one 12",pretty rotor, and an aluminum twin piston, red caliper, and one 11"rusty rotor and rusty single piston caliper...
I plan to check out the local junk yards for some impala 9c cars that I can swipe parts from.
Strut tower braces
Sway bars
LCA's
Trailing arms
Maybe struts... But I think the will raise ride height... And I'm hoping to lower it eventually...
I'm looking for things to improve aesthetics, and ride quality... Probably going to have to pick one or the other though...
Another thing... I might have an oil leak... But since it's been leaking for about a week(maybe 2) and the oil level is still full... I'm kind of thinking that some idiot put about 10qts of oil in this sucker.... The underside is covered in oil, and the first day, I could actually watch oil drip off the oil pan. I think it's coming from up higher, that's why I bought valve cover gaskets. I'll check it out when I get time. I keep an eye on the oil level, and unless it gets low, I'm not going to get concerned.
Been looking into prettying up the valve covers if/when I pull them. I'd love to get some aluminum fabricated ones, just for looks... But can't justify 400-500 bucks for looks... Lol. It will probably end up being a $15 spray paint job.
