Your going to definatly need a torque wrench and a haynes manual, it tells you all the specific torque specifications. Also for the harmonic balancer you will need a 1/2inch breaker bar and a 1/2 strap wrench(chain is best) to hold the harmonic balancer while you unbolt it or you will just turn you engine over with out it. I bought two from napa because theres were to small in length, so i took two apart and made a long one.

You most definately will need a torque wrench for this job! Most of the bolts on these LS engines look to be on the small sie, so the urge to overtighten them (and break them) might be hard to fight. Do whatever you need to do to buy/borrow a torque wrench.
