Update!
so the headers are finally getting coated and will be here in a few weeks. Later then I wanted but I think it was worth it. I ordered the long tubes but i'll post a pic of the Mids in case anyone else is interested.





A place called brp hotrods is making them, I don't think they are a sponser so pm me if you want details and contact info. they will be available in 2 weeks and will be coated. they also made 2in primaries for anyone making a drag only truck. they were designed on the old body style but i will be testing them on mine to see how they fit on the new body style s-10. oh and they fit with the stock ac system.

on to my other small updates, I notched for ac and tore her down a little farther, I'm done with the valve covers except for painting the stripes to match the engine block. I
ground off the old engine mounts, the guy put them on very well, too bad they aren't what I needed. I''ll be plating in the notch, fixing the oil pan notch, fixing my ac box and hopefully painting the firewall this week.






I still need to clear them and the rest of the covers, but I am happy with the way they came out. i'm ordering my gaskets head bolts and everything else I need to finish putting the engine togather, if anyone has a hookup at a tucson az dealer shoot me a pm. if not i'll be waiting a week till everything is shipped to me.

 

Make sure to get the head bolts in the kits. They are much cheaper by far.

 

Ya know those bastards at the stealership wanted to sell me the bolts individually at nearly $100 to do both heads and we have an account at this GM dealer cause we parts from them. I just bought them from a guy on ebay as a full kit for like $36.95

 

i was quoted 119 for everything, you guys know any good place to order everything online? headgaskets, head bolts, balancer bolt ect.?

 

The Dealer or GmPartsdirect.com or Gmpartscheap.com for the Gasket stuff. Factory head bolts I bought from a guy on Ebay. He has Head bolts, balancer bolt, The ballancer, rod bolts, the yellow Z06 Valve springs... Give me a few I will get you his info....

 

seller name on ebay is theallchevyshop
Look up Item number: 160297833054

$36.95 for the whole Kit. It does both heads. He has all the other Bolts too!

I just orderd 2 sets from him and some other things... I'm hopping it shows up today...

 

everything??? seems like a fair price... The head gaskets alone run about $30 each

 

i meant for the head bolts, gaskets were 50 a peice and the crank bolt was $17it came out to over 260 with tax...

 

GMPartsdirect FTW. I ordered my head, valve cover and timing cover gaskets from them. Be sure you said you need 2 of the valve and head gaskets... I only got one But if your ordering enough parts to make it worth the 20 bux in shipping its a good buy. SDPC is also pretty good and Summitracing is good if you know exactally what your looking for. And only $10 for shipping and it takes about a week since they're in Nevada.

I may need to bring my valley, valve, and timing covers to you so you can brush them. It looks very clean and I think it'd add a nice touch just how it is.

 

Then you were getting hosed at the stealership.... "No Soup for You!!!"
That guy sales the balancer bolt for like $12 and he combines shipping on everything you buy at the same time. One of those Gm web sites for the gaskets will get you the gaskets for about $30 A piece. Thats what I paid with my Discount at The stealership... from now on I will just order in bulk from one of those web sites... The front and rear crank seals were a little cheper through them then what they gave me at the stelership....

Any one have the Part# for the 6.0L MLS style GM gasket???
I have it for the 4.8L / 5.3L GM MLS Gasket....
I also have the numbers for the front and rear crank seal if you need them...
