Where did you buy your book?
I work at a dealership part time. So I get to barrow the special tools. If you go to the dealer they would prolly print out the paper work. I just look right off the internet. Any model GM at my fingertips.

i picked this up from work when i did mine.. worth its weight in gold.. complete understatement.. we had 4 or 5 adjustable compressors and without it tapering correctly they didnt work for **** so i ended up picking up the arp compressor..

Finally here is a couple pics. I have been really busy with school, and I misplaced my camera untill today. I dont have any other pics of the motor, but I ended up installing ZZP neutral balance shafts.

Going to work on it a while tomarrow, next week is spring break so it will be running by at the latest then, but I have to get an intake tube, the IM and TB back from BYT, and a new 90 degree coupler for the charge pipes. I would like to have it at least back bolted in the car tomarrow.

Car is done and drove it for awhile today. I had a little coolant leak but it was just the hose that went to the heater core, got that fixed up and all is well. Dont know what it is but the car has a deeper tone to it than before. I know I havent heard it in a while but I know it is deeper now than before. Sounds good, also a really awsome feeling knowing it is all working right and me being the only one that worked on it, except for the engine builder doing his part.
