Not sure if ya knew that which you probly do, just looking out for a fellow chevy brother!! On another note, looks like you got a bunch of goodies! Thing should haul some ass

Thank's man! Honestly i dont know how the machining process goes but dont they do all that in the machine shop? They had all the part's there.

Im confident James know's though he specializes in ls based and lt based engines and deisles. man you should go by there if you are ever in Clovis some of the F-bodies around his shop he has built are downright sick!

Looks like your making progress,sweet.One question?Why didnt you put arp bolts on the splayed section of the cap,the grade 8 bolt that was used doesnt have the strength a arp bolt does,and the washer will allow for cap walk.
