More parts arriving. Unfortunately gmpartsdirect is holding me up. I ordered like gaskets and the little things you need for a build like this and I'm STILL WAITING for ANYTHING to show an ETA. Their site mentions special order parts take up to 72 hours to get to them, then ship to me. Well they are 2 days OVER the 72 hours. I KNEW I should have just drove the 50 miles to the GM dealer I'm willing to do business with and ordered through them. I still may do that, and just cancel the order from gmpartsdirect.

From Amazon today:

You mind posting some close up pics of them lifters? Are they Delphi or "Summit" brand? I'm asking cuz the Summit head bolts are GM factory bolts but discounted a little. With the price of the Delphi lifters, I'm curious if the "Summit" ones are also discounted factory lifters.

I will do as soon as I can. The owner of the shop I'm going to do all the work in, has some of the parts shipped directly there, while the parts I can get cheaper I've been collecting. He has my lifters at his shop, the cam, and my HUGE 3 row radiator. From what I know, he got the true GM LS7 ones with the GM part#. I will definitely check these soon and report back

As we recently found out from another member's experience, you don't wanna cheap out on the lifters. I'm fortunate to have bought my lifters over a year ago when they were less than half what they cost now. They were so cheap by comparison, that I was paranoid that I had gotten aftermarket knock-offs. I compared them to my originals and they're either genuine Delphi or impeccable clones. Not doubting Summit or your guy that ordered them.

Looks like I hit another road block to getting the build started. I ordered a bunch of the little things from gmpartsdirect, like gaskets, bolts, the finishing touches sort of crap. 52 items ordered on 9/11/2020 for a total of like $600. Found the money is back in my account with no explanation. Not sure if it's a hiccup or if they cancelled the order. I don't want to go to a dealer and reorder everything until I can get a direct ******* answer from them. I'm incredibly frustrated!!

That sux! How amazing would it be if you got your parts and they never deducted the money from your account lol!

All week I had $600 pending, but that is gone. Hmmm.. getting parts and not getting charged... I could spend that on better headlights, lol
