Was easy enough, had good mechanics though.

pulled mine from the top a few weeks ago but I went ahead and removed the heads first. Pretty easy but I've also done it from the bottom and it seemed to go a little quicker. All depends on your facilities.

I went with the racetronix plug/pump harness/42lb delphi lucas setup. It seems to be the easiest for plug and play.

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know where I can get a specific lt1 gasket kit, with felpro 1087 head gaskets (.039 compressed height) I found one on summit, but its bore is 4.125(yes I know why the hell would they even make a 4.125 gasket for an lt1) Anyones if someone has a recommendation shoot it out. Im looking at our vendors etc now, already checked jegs and summit. Also will I be needing different lenght push rods for the new cam? Looks like a found one from victory racing!

I have a question about gasket sets. Since I am going .030 over will I need a gasket set that has a .030 over head gasket? Thanks.

You really should at least get the heads pocket ported and a good valve job. You going to have them milled to make sure their flat?

Got crank,piston rings (nitrous hardened rings), bearings(h-series) today. Will post pictures soon. Aswell as my intake with block offs. Is it normal for the bearings to have like a "file" mark through them, one of mine does and im not sure if thats normal.

While you've got that intake off, get it sandblasted... or paint it

I was thinking about just leaving it as is and make it look stock. Painted would be tempting though.
