My LE2 parts list complete?

Here is a list I have made in preparation for an LE2 install, I was just looking for some feedback as to whether or not I have most everything covered.

Plan to use stock lifters?
New intake & header gaskets. Are these included in your Cam Swap Package?

I'm not sure on the injectors you have picked. I know that many prefer the SVOs. It's getting late for me (work third shift) so hopefully others will chime in on the brand you have selected. Other than that I can only comment on your choice of pushrod lenght. You won't know what you need until you check. I'm probably missing something else, but I'm sure others will speak up.

not sure on the lifters yet, my original stockers have 56k on them. And my header gaskets only have 2k on them so I think they will be ok

Do you have copper or aluminum header gaskets? If you are using the Fel-Pros, you will most likely have to replace them. If you want to use the Cloyes double roller timing set, you will have to switch over to the electric water pump. Otherwise, the LT4 ED timing set would be another option. I wouldn't necessarily jump on pushrods yet either. You may want to get a pushrod length checking tool and find out what size you need that way.

Lloyd told me to go with the 37lb Delphi injectors. You can find them at Racetronix.com for 294 shipped. Good luck i'm in the same boat.

My mistake then. I was just trying to point out that some injectors are better than others.

Any idea if the height is the same as the LT1 lifter? Would it be worth the trouble and money to run them on an stock blocked LE2 car?
