Thanks. Yeah I was surprised this happened on a mostly stock car.
I was able to find a thermostat housing and supercharger belt after trekking around to a few autozones and o'reillys. I also grabbed some 3/8" & 5/16" fuel line hose to try and mend the crankcase vent tube temporarily.
I'd really love to be able to drive the car home. I'm at VIR, about 8 hours from home. Hoping the damage isn't worse than what I've already noticed. Lost a lot of coolant, but I'm thinking that came from the broken overflow on the thermostat housing. I'll inspect it all better in the morning.
I'm also going to check out AMP billet thermostat and a Gates RPM belt to hopefully avoid any issues in the future.
I think the crankcase vent tube that is broken is part number 12687313, but it looks to be discontinued. Anyone have any idea if that's the right part number and if there's a new part number that may have replaced the discontinued part?
