Bottom end is all together.
Zzp drain plug installed
Had to use the rear cam caps from my other head but luckily they checked out ok so were using them
So heres the cams, installed... new cam gears and chain is on...
Balance delete deals were packed in using a similar diameter pvc pipe to avoid damage to anything

Weekend after next? Why such a wait?!!
Did you drop the engine with the harness still attached to it or leave it in the car? Only curious because you said you were going to hook up the wiring.

The harness was partially removed under the hood and completely removed after engine was out.

Not really man. Its at my friends gfs garage so i can really only work on it on his watch. Trust me man the car would have been running already had we had more open days to get **** done but it is what it is. I just hope the weather stays bad so that my dad doesnt think anythings up with my car not being home yet

Thats what im saying, but i dont want him to get suspicious LOL. If the weathers nice hed know the car would be out
Ok so today i think were gonna attack polishing the intake mani and port/polish/plug the blower as well. Maybe even the TB
After all, i have a 3" intake already
Or would it be better to simply get an LS4 tb... def would be easier

My parents hate it but I always tell them something is wrong that I'm fixing which is sorta the half truth. One wheel bearing going bad replaced all 4 to 5 lug and got Brembo brakes...
