other than that, looks like these ls motors go together pretty damn easy, can't wait to get my 6.0 to have some fun with! keep it up, cant wait til next week
also, just making sure, but you got the cams, lifters, pushrods and all that stuff for the 699 on the previous page? soooo much cheaper than imported stuff

Oh I did not use those torque specs.. I actually followed the ARP instructions that came with them.. Should have been clear with that.
And yup only 699 plus tax for the Cam, pushrods and dual valve springs.

They will not fall out loosely, use a slide hammer with a special EXACTLY sized
tool for the job to tap them out. Cam bearings are recommended to be
changed when the block is completely stripped down.
Those 806 heads are among the weakest flowing heads of the gen 4 series.
Try to find some 243 heads in the future for the most power, or go the 5.3
head route. Which ever you can find, both will bump your compression a bit.

Oh these heads are just temp, just to get the car running.. I plan on getting some new ones when I am ready to do the stroke motor..
