I am still waiting on engine parts, now 2 months later. I've been assured that the holdup is my custom grind camshaft that is prolonging things. It sucks because I could be doing other things, though on the other hand, I can't do much engine assembly without the cam and lifters installed, so I'm at an impasse. In the meantime, I've been slowly acquiring other odds and ends. My clutch kit from California Custom Clutches was ordered a few weeks ago. The sales guy said it would take a couple weeks normally, but Covid delays have slowed things somewhat. Then, he emailed to inform he and some of his staff contracted Covid and it would be longer, so it's just more waiting I guess. I decided to forgo going through SPEC, as they don't upgrade their pressure plates from stock, and they jerked me around on never getting a flywheel made, despite "custom flywheel" availability. I instead ordered a custom billet steel flywheel through LSC Performance for cheaper than what SPEC would have charged had they even bothered. Pictured below is what is essentially the same dimensions and pattern as the standard Getrag flywheel, in either 3.4 or 3.8 swaps, albeit with a LS crank pattern.
