the headers should come with a DP, w/ or w/o a cat. or you can weld in a cat.

What about the aluminum oil pan anyone know if I need anything else besides the pan and gasket?

you dont use a gasket on the al pan, you use a rtv type sealer. and i think you need a new motor mount, as it bolts to the pan, instead of that bracket, may even need a different oil filter housing.

someone posted up part #"s and cost a while back for all the parts new.

[rperry435]

I tracked down the part numbers

Pan 12597244
Pickup tube 24506437
Mount bracket 10345562

not sure on pricing I get a discount ill have to check in Monday. I snow someone said it's not much more than the steel pan so why not I like the idea of no sealant

Yeah..it'll work fine. I've done it a bunch of times.

On that rear main. Do the rear engine cover gasket. I'm assuming that's one of the bolts that backed out. They are in with such low torque that I see that gasket seeping more commonly than the rear main itself. As long as the cover is off, obviously you do the rear main, but the cover gasket, I like to increase torque a ft lb or two and add some locktite to the bolts.

[rperry435]

Yeah a rear cover bolt is what backed out... I'm replacing the cover gasket and rear main because there is some seepage. I Ordered the parts for my aluminum pan as well.

one question I did have is... I want to replace the flex pipe (I just purchased the speed daddy headers $216 shipped when I called them and ill have them by thursday) I guess they leak? ... Anyways what size flex do I need? I'm going to order one from ZZP today with some various other things like a shift kit and dev6

3" ...

It's not that it leaks out of the box, but the single wall is noisy...you hear ticking. It's not a leak, just loud. The dual wall are much quieter.

[rperry435]

I don't recall having an issue with the ssautochrome headers flex section but I just figured it needed to be done... Hmm how loud are we talking? lol

Not very and if it bugs you..use header wrap on the flex.

[rperry435]

Doing a shift kit how many gallons will I need of dex6? Does the Zzp kit come with a pan gasket?

7 to 8 quarts of fluid, reuse the factory gasket.

and in another thread people were saying the zzp shift kit sucks. weak parts.

[rperry435]

Hmm anyone have a recommendation? I was just ordering some things from figured it was easiest to get from them. What parts could break?

i have a shift kit, but bought it in the trans already, so i cant say what i have. but people seem to like the transgo kit i think its called.

[rperry435]

I've had a transgo in my GTA loved it. I'll find one of those

The zzp kit is either plastic spacers or metal spacers. You can make your own Zzp kit for much less.

Transgo is a good kit. Comes with extras.

[rperry435]

Yay some goodies
