A few more parts are ready to be bolted back on. A new throttle body (I disassembled and cleaned up/out my original throttle body, but this new one is too nice to leave on a shelf):
Throttle body notes: there's a fellow selling brand new 1994 crate engine take-off throttle bodies on eBay for $69.99, but he's open to offers. Search for "17104417 throttle body" to find him. All of the hoses that attach to the throttle body are obsolete, but I was able to find a Gates replacement (part number 18030) for the steam pipe elbow (original part number 12553625). I also went with new clamps from McMaster-Carr.
The Corvette starter:
The coolant crossover pipe:
Coolant crossover pipe notes: the service part number for this pipe is 12556260. My original is in good condition, so I was able to just clean it up and replace the banjo bolts and washers. I couldn't find one new, but there is a replacement available from
Keen Parts. Just be aware that the mounting bracket on the replacement isn't in the same location as the original part. It's one bolt hole closer to the rear of the engine.
