For me, the hardest single part was the coolant manifold for the intercooler.

Next two hardest to find were the lower intake manifold and then the intercooler.

Fourth on the list was the Cobra intake tube.

Easiest thing by far is the actual blower, IMO, hold off on buying that until the end.

I would say that finding parts for an eaton swap isn't that difficult. Finding parts at a good price.....that's another story. I enjoyed it.

Yup, and yup.

I should have added that as a disclaimer in my post. All the parts are pretty much readily available, but not all of 'em at prices I was willing to pay... ;)

Good point, only one source for the brackets, and the other stuff won't matter without them.
