Ah ha! 
Spoke to Gary Camaro today.
We wants to install the #113s!
I has an AC Delco Professional water pump too.
After looking at it too hard for too long? She's gonna get a new PS pump and lines at that time too.
$1000 after Thanksgiving? I supply the parts.
Just in time for Christmas!

Pritty.danged.shure. I bought an actual 1LE aluminum space saver donut spare tire from Gary too.
Think it would be in this thread? but he might have wanted too much for it... I can't remember!
mighta costed $200 so he kept it.
There was one for sale.. did I buy it?
The trade seems familiar.
Maybe I just bought a donut cuz I didn't have a spare.. that maybe right too, dangit!
Aluminum heads will be cool, they're 58cc.:love:
Sounds like something I would have done. Woulda paid 80 bucks for it too but not 200.
We shall see!

Didn't the po fill your spare tire compartment with spray foam? I have a doughnut tire in my 2015 camaro. Actually had to use it once too. Glad I had it.

Oh yeah!
It did have spray foam in it.. I took it out though.
Been a very long time since I looked back there - lets's go see what's in it!
Hold on.
Ahh! This is a fun game!
It's like treasure!
Uber cool.... Where's the spare tire anyways? Weeeee!
I remember cleaning out the spare tire well now - and see somebody has installed a brand new and correct, steel donut spare with all the proper hardware.
Some foam remains. Old boy Gary must have wanted too much for the 1LE jobby or maybe I was being poor that day.
There are some for sale on ebay starting at $109.
I offered the cheapest guy 80 bucks and he countered with a Ben.
Pass.
I said 80.
Dangit!
Maybe one day.. supposed to be comin up with a grand for engine work anyways.
I have a problem.... spending on ebay is a favorite pastime of mine. I'm sure i'll get one eventually.

Fun fact, those aren't the ones that were actually used on a 1LE, despite everyone calling them the "1LE spare". They won't even fit a real 1LE car because they won't clear the PBR brakes, lol. The actual 1LE spare looks like a garden variety, steel space saver spare, but are 15" (rather than 14") and the rim is stamped aluminum instead of steel.

Back when I had my 2010 CTS-V it didn't come with a spare, just an air pump and a bottle of flat fix. I had to buy one of these spare kits for a standard CTS then get a 1.5" spacer so it could work on the front if I had a flat.

I bought a corvette new in 87. It was a close call with the IROC.
Wish I had bought the IROC to be honest.

Hey @Rusty Nail I think the dip at the store overcharged you for the head gaskets. I can get these locally for less, and the entire overhaul set for what you paid for head gaskets. And I live in the land of over-inflation. Did the dip provide any lube as you got bent over?

@DoubleDingo you're very clever.Thanks for that idea it sounds good. Unfortunately that is a special order part number AND it updated(changed). The number. Changed. Makes me nervous.
Not in stock.
I've got the best Camaro mechanic prolly in the state and he said buy the #1010 and I said OK.
Good lookin out though, thanks.
I think it's all loaded @11:00a.

Dude said "i'll fix it in a week or two" and again I said, "ok".
