Currently ordering all the parts to begin my build. Just finished ordering the Turboblown engine bolts. I plan on ordering e&j apex seals but I'm having trouble figuring out where to order OEM corner seals. Some of the research I was doing was recommending to go with OEM corner seals but I'm having issues figuring out where I can order them from. Any suggestions?
Yep, Ray. Also he can get any of the other stuff you need - gaskets, hoses, etc. Try and go through everything and get one order in to save shipping, he typically does $15 shipping on damn near anything which is a great deal.
Some things Atkins is good for, I like their Viton oil O-rings, fit well, priced right, work great.
Also I see you're from PA - so if happen to be in a part of PA that is close to New Castle, DE, you can save yourself the shipping expense and pick the parts up. Ray's parts get shipped from the NuCar GM/Mazda dealership in New Castle, DE, so you can ask Ray to do your order as a "call to pickup" instead of shipping. DE has no sales tax, so you don't pay taxes either - win-win!
Seconding Pete's suggestion. I picked up my engine from the Delaware warehouse and it and the fuel cost for me to drive there and get it was cheaper than having it shipped.

^That's good to know - I haven't had to order a short block or really anything else that big or heavy from Ray yet. Do they have a hoist/lift of some sort at NuCar to help you load something that heavy into a pickup truck bed, or did you have to bring a friend along help to muscle it in?
Picked up my new OEM Keg from that NuCar DE location as well over 5 years ago for a new motor build. They have fork lifts etc but maybe during the week for heavier parts is easier with more help. I did a Saturday pickup alone but the parts guy helped me hand load it into my rig. Box is big compared to keg in it. Maybe get a big order and pick up in one shot
They have a forklift and move it around on a pallet. You're going to need a second or third person depending on how much weight you can move. Last time I was there helping a friend pick up his block, they used a pallet jack. Be sure to keep your feet clear, someone may or may not have had a REW shortblock dropped on their foot.
I use Amayama.com myself. I have used Ray on some special parts that he was able to get for cheaper. Im located in Europe and shipping is ish the same from both places.
