I'm sure it would be easier and I was going to wait to install, like I still will on the tranny, but I want to hear something now. ;-)
I have too much money setting under my bed already and I'm still months away before install. It's not a stock top swap. From the LQ4 MAF, N* TB, P&P blower, P&P LIM, P&P heads (SS valves, 1.7 roller rockers, new locks/seals/springs/retainers), Intense S1X cam, double roller chain, UD alt/WP pullies, high output alt, oversized radiator, ZZP headers, TOG catless DP, and lastly---a purpose built tranny. I am going to install as much as I can at once but these are easy enough. I have most of it already so being I'm a fairly patient guy I'll wait for the more in depth stuff to go in with the tranny.
And yes, I was serious about the possible triple headed plugs. I remember asking for the hottest possible plug and it was a multiple head plat/iridium? One of those. Copper in today because I'll be swapping before they're bad.
