so my motor is going in tomorrow... i have autolite 605's, got wires right before engine went to ****.... oil and filter, supercharger oil, coolant, thermostat, belts... anything im forgetting? also is the supercharger gasket reusable? as for the headers that are going on... also i got the SSAC knockoffs... are the stock mani gaskets reusable also?
 


cant reuse the blower gasket (depending upon how long it was on there). cant reuse the stock manifold gaskets either.
 


just my op but if the oil pan gasket could be replaced easily as with the rear mainseal, i'd damn sure replace it...i'm ready to start on mine in a few weeks(income tax) and i'm gonna seal that b!tch....no leaks=win
 
the motor only has 54k? give or take so im hoping to be ok on leaks... my budget has been killed... wanted to do LIM gaskets as well but cant right now... i have spent way too much money on this car in the past few months. i just hope everything goes as planned for tomorrow... completely furnished shop with lift, air, and every tool u can think of. its a 97 riviera motor goin in... any external parts that i need to swap off old motor? should i put in the 605's or exchange for 104's going to a 3.4 when i have extra money to spend... may be awhile before i do that.

I just got GM LIM gaskets, s/c gasket and o-rings, exhaust gaskets, and coolant tubes from a gm dealer for $87 w/ my friend's gm discount. That was cheaper than advance auto.
 
i just bought zzp's lowerintake set...metal... for $42 shipped to me. advance was $49.. I WISH I COULD GET A DISCOUNT AT THE DEALER, I don't have an inside hookup...
 


take your time, if stuff isnt lining up, start over and re drop. dont force fit anything.
