my brother bought plasti dip for his front bumper lip, after he was done with that we decided to plasti dip my hood, I think it turned out well.

Job well done at least. Will look good with a couple other visual mods. Maybe dip the spoiler.

Needs the dip glossifier to look good I think...

it was still kinda wet when I took those pics, ill take some more, later, the look is growing on me.
no I think dipping the spoiler would be too much, I have blacked out tail lights already.

Regular NEW head bolts will do. (ARP head studs are better)
Need to find 3 for the bottom idle pulley bracket.
Upper intake bolts are larger on the SC engine than NA. At least for 04+
Lower intake bolts swap over.
Something like 13-14ft lbs for torque. That's ALL you need. Don't wrench down on them.
Exhaust swaps over.
Get new bolts for the rockers if you plan on taking them off of the heads.
Torque angle gauge for rocker bolts and head bolts if you use OEM.
11ft lbs + 90 degrees rockers
Always keep a stash of miscellaneous nuts and bolts for whatever you come across.
Put spark plugs in heads before you put them on the block.
Pull out the battery.
Once heads and valve covers are on put on the alternator and bracket with new coolant elbows and accessory belt before you put on the blower. That was a PITA.
All I can think of off of the top of my head.

If it's your first time having the thing that far apart, I'd suggest little baggies and a sharpie to hold the bolts and label the bags.
That way you know for sure where they came from.

Thank you for the list! if you you have any more tips ill take as many as I can get.
and ya my brother is doing the majority of the swap and he always uses baggies and labels them, Dont want to finish the swap and have 2-3 bolts "leftover" lol

Some updates and pictures
Took plasti dip off car, took FOREVER cause we didnt put enough plastidip on.. love how the camera doesnt show allll the stone chips lol
One tail light look way darker but half the car is in the shade.
I also debadged the side of the car so no more impala emblems on the sides.
Oh and went to get oil and coolant for the top swap and the cheapest stuff on sale was royal purple!! $43.00
