• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

I Got Parts!

Valve locks, you can reuse yours.
Head gaskets, I've had fine luck with Fel Pro's. I do copper spray them.
Head studs, awesome.. teflon paste for sealant and use the hex key to bottom them out.
Exhaust manifold gaskets - reuse factory MLS gasket.
EGR block off - penny and some JB weld in the manifold to block it off. Otherwise, most blockoffs are a small piece of aluminum or steel with a hole tapped in it for the bolt. Me, I've filled the SC egr port as well to smooth things. Just saying. Then you use a piece of metal at the header or put an egr in place to look legal.
TB spacer, no need
04 T stat housing, you can mod an earlier version if one isn't available.
No L32 map sensor to clean it up back there and use a connector that won't be over the exhaust to get brittle and break?
34# injectors????
Fuel pump rewire, what about high flow pump (TREPerformance.com $70)
Valve cover gaskets - and grommets
Coolant Elbows
RTV
Pipe sealant wtih PTFE
 


so I did some pricing and with out even everything I needed it was 700 dollars just for bolts gaskets injectors and what not... any tips on where to get these things at a better price
 
I'm pretty sure i still have most of the bolts. I'll give you the big box of bolts and you can sort through them.

Behold! what I got after close to 6 hours... yep just this side lol. I also have the coolant ports ontop plugged and the a good chunk of the top cut out since I decided to add on a ssic. I'll get more pics when I finish the LIM completly

You say I can reuse my valve locks? what about the retainers? I know you need different ones for ls1 based springs but the springs I'm going with are ls6 based.

Also you mentioned reusing the factory exaust manifold gaskets, do those hold up well?
