ive almost have everything i need for a top swap just missing harmonic balancer, injectors, pcm, and mps... but i want to cam it with the xp cam from zzp besides the cam what else would i need to install it? im trying to get a list together so i know what i have to save up, thanks in advance
 


Headers, something to scan with (preferably a tuner) you need valve springs and the zzp valve seals that give more clearance.
 


biggest tip I can give you is put the car on jackstands to bring your work surface up a little. That'll save your back.

Other than that.. once you pull one of the lower corner head bolts..use a tube to pull coolant out of the bolt hole. That will keep you from filling your cylinders etc.
 
ok well all the coolant will be outa the car because im top swapping, so im doing everything at once, but thanks im trying to achieve around 280-300whp any advice on a build? im kinda new to this so im looking for as much help as i can
 
I did my Top Swap and added a full size IC in April....My best advice is make sure you have atleast $200-$300 extra for little stuff you'll come across. I actually forgot to get valve covers but I lucked up and a buddy gave me some. And make sure the impact is strong enough to take the Crank Bolt off...Mines wouldn't even make the bolt budge. so I had to go to a friends shop and use theirs. Came off effortlessly. Good luck
