206/212-112lsa Cam is ordered through Jarrett (stock48), and all the other parts have arrived. Bottom end is ready, let the assembly begin!

 

awesome

 

Just installing the heads, does everyone use 80 ft/lb for the large head stud final torque?

 

Cam is in, should be doing final assembly in the coming weeks and then just wait for a free weekend to do the swap.

Anyone else had a motor in and out of these and have a few hints to save some time or broken knuckles?
i.e. take the rad out/ leave it in. leave the exhaust manifolds on the exhaust?
I see some people leave the motor mounts attached to the motor, is this easier?
thanks for any tips.

 

I think i did 75 with lube.
remove rad
I installed the exhaust after the motor was in, theres a lot of room
I installed motor mounts on the engine then set it in.

 

Bought a new house and moving in a month, so the motor will be transported to the new house and installed there.
New house has a 32x28 shop with heat and a/c so no excuses once I'm in there, haha
