While I'm waiting on my chassis I plan on buying some of the smaller stuff here and there while try to save for the big parts like tired, coilovers, front axle, etc. Trying to think of questions I have had and get them in one thread, so links would be great where I can book mark this stuff. Thanks in advance
1) 2.5x8 psc de ram is what I'm looking at. Is this what most of y'all use? I know they have a 2.75 also. I want to keep steering pretty quick. How many turns lock to lock do you like?
2) Transmission cooler. I'm looking at the different derale ones, would -6an be ok or should I do -8an. Also if there is a cheaper one that is good, let me know. These are the 2 I'm looking at

3) water pump fitting, I have this thread saved on threading in a fitting, and I know some of you have just welded on a fitting. Just try to see what others have done

4) engine upgrades, going to be ls engine, going to run the same cam as pholman, they have a kit that has push rods, springs, timing chain, lifters. Would you go thru the trouble of changing all of that on a trail buggy, or just do cam and springs?

I know I will need help on the wiring harness, but I will wait on that till I get a motor, and I'm sure I will think of something else
