Would it be smart to get that stuff done all at the same time? I was thinking about it, what would you guys think?

 

i did. with the exception of the auto tranny components. everything in the signature i did all at one time (well, over a period of 3 months...but didnt drive the car in between). i dont know that there was any real advantage to it. other than the fact that the car was completly stripped of all its drivetrain and made it easy to work on all the parts of the vehicle. i didnt have to cut into the fuel tank to put in the new fuel pump because i had already pulled out the rear for the swap. same with clutch and driveshaft, easy because the transmission was already out. pulled the whole engine out and it made it super easy to put everything back together and you can take your time with it a little more comfortably. i sat in my lawn furniture while cleaning the head bolt holes on the block for example . i think its a good idea personally. i had fun doing it and the surprise is even greater when you go for that first drive. its like a whole new car.

EDIT: we would have a similar setup if you did this, so let me know if you have any questions. i also have tons of bookmarked pages for walkthroughs as well that i could send you.

 

Man your cars mods are like exactly what I'm getting. How do the LE3 heads and LE2 cam work on your setup?

 

well, considering ive only had it done a few days, i havent had the chance to really check it out. but i will tell you that is awesome. definitely go with it.

 

The next project car I do, I'm planning out, then doing all at once.

If you don't mind the added time/labor to continually put things on and take them back off later then I'd do them in stages...afterall, that is half the fun of working on a car. It's really up to you and your wallet. The advantage of doing things one at a time is you can see the affect it had and if you run into problems it's easier to isolate them, knowing that only 1 thing changed.

 

The only reason why I ask if it's ok to do these things at the same time is issues of breaking in the new parts. Like the transmission, the new rear end with new gears, the cam etc.

 

It'd be no different than a brand new car...

 

i say go for it, you'd only have down time for one instance
