Gasket mounts at a right angle, putting it in the correct orientation for use on the fastback trunk.

This looks like it very possibly may work for A-body door weatherstrip also.

All aluminum drop-in radiator. Almost certainly made in China.

I'd like one without the trans cooler, though.

Heater hose for the 3.4 DOHC factory oil cooler inlet from the block: Dayco 87617. This isn't listed in an application book anywhere, but works great. You may have to trim a little bit off it. Available at most auto parts stores for $7 or so.

Ctrl-F "Variation Nut":
http://www.serpentautosport.com/HTML/Hu ... acers.html

These nuts allow wheels and hubs with slighly mis-matched bolt circles to be assembled. They could be used to:
Mate 120.65mm (4.75" Chevy pattern) to 120mm (BMW pattern)

OR (as relevant to the Fiero community)

Mate 114.3mm (4.5" Everything but GM pattern) to 115mm (GM large FWD pattern)

This satisfies my OCD with regard to avoiding side-loading the lug studs with slightly mismatched patterns.

Obviously use of these requires that appropriate attention be paid to adapting center bore diameters to keep the wheel hub-centric.

Remote mount marine waterpumps: http://www.ittflowcontrol.com/jabsco/engine-cooling.htm

I saw one of these: http://www.ittflowcontrol.com/marine-an ... 4-pump.htm used on a BBC in an offshore racing boat.

Meziere also makes a remote mount mechanical waterpump: http://www.meziere.com/ps-1224-1191-wp430s.aspx

Moroso has remote water pump adapter kits for SBC and LSx (scroll to the bottom of the page for the adapter fittings): http://www.moroso.com/catalog/categoryd ... code=29300

Dedenbear ( http://www.dedenbear.com/TXTwHead.htm ) has a water manifold to work with remote mount waterpumps. It's available from Summit ( http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DED-WH1/ ). I thought that Offenhauser made a similar piece, but I can't find it anywhere.
