wolfwings...which are fairly minor really.
As I can: Get some of these for storage purposes. Something to store dirty oil, 20W-20 clean, ATF for the power steering and brake systems, and gear oil for the transmission. This'll be a long-term supplies task. About $200-$400, depending on the number and size of tanks, and if I swap the oil-pump between types or buy seperate pumps for each type of oil.
Get a re-usable oil filter in a year or so. Sure, it'll cost $200 or so, but I already got a re-usable K&N air filter, might as well REALLY piss off the guys that go to change my oil now and make them unable to charge me for any parts. =^.^=
Finish getting the tire-storage unit built for the trunk, so I can hold the pair of full-sized spares in there safely. Most likely a simple threaded-rod with a T at the peak that the existing tire-bolt system can bolt the spare wheels onto. That way it's easy to remove the whole contraption when I rotate my tires. About $20 in parts, total. Maybe $40 to be paranoid.
Before I get the engine rebuilt, get some new 4340 pistons, 4340 rods, and a 4340 crankshaft. Note the sarcasm dripping from this paragraph, and lack of any prices unlike the other paragraphs.
