Default forgetting anything?

assembled 241 heads, LS7 lifters, LS2 lifter trays, pushrods, U/D and overdrive pulley, 42lb injectors, 227/224 cam, ported oil pump, LS2 timing chain, 3400 stall and new spark plugs.



the things i need to buy still are the new rocker arms, the belt for the pulleys and a tranny cooler. i bought this from SDPC earlier this year http://www.sdparts.com/product/KITSD...it2002LS6.aspx



is there anything else?

is there a reason people say to go with new ARP head bolts instead of new bolts from GM?

Looks like you have all the parts covered, get some coolant, oil, oil filter, plug wires (if old). Also the arp head bolts are reuseable VS gm's torque to yeild one time use.

There's nothing wrong with gm's bolts unless you want crazy power, you'll just have to replace them again next time the heads come off.
