Hmm, alrighty then. Guess I heard wrong....BTW, the info I got about 7.36" was from Comp....

Most importantly, it seems the consensus is that Yelo is good to go with his stockers should he decides to go that way. Which is good news.

Yeah....very good new at this point, The dealer has my head-bolts waiting for me to pick up tomorrow morning (it took them longer than I thought to get them...over a week, they're usually good for getting parts overnight), with that purchase I have everything I need to do the swap

Here's the list....anything seem to be missing ??

Heads (LS2 springs)
Cam
Head Bolts
Head Gaskets
Exhaust Manifold Bolts (I've got 4 broken ones)
Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
Water Pump Gaskets
Front Cover Gasket
Crank Seal
Crank bolt
RTV Silicone, Lock-tite, etc......

I assume you are goingto try and reuse you intake and vlave cover gaskets?? Those are the only ones I see missing in you list.

BigKID...actually the valve-cover gaskets are new, but they are already on the new red valve-covers that i am going to use so I really didn't count them, and I HAD though about swapping to new intake gaskets but everyone here has assured me that the old ones will work (and if they are too bad I've got 2 truck intakes and another LS1 intake sitting around with gaskets in them that I can use)

grippy....Next Friday...I HOPE

I realize that stock pushrods aren't the best even with stock cams but the RPM's won't even be what some stock motors see...and since it's pretty impossible to miss a shift with an auto I won't run the chance of over-revving the motor.....

WELL MINE SEES 7400 AT LEST ONCE A WEEK GET SOME FORM THUNDER RACING ASK FOR DAVIE 225 754 7223 YOU CAN ALSO SHIFT IT ALITTLE HIGHER 6400 IS WERE WE SHIFT THAT CAM
