Default Check my shopping list please-

I get back from Germany in a week (On Business) and want to have everything gathered (preferably delivered) for my heads and Cam swap to ensure as little downtime as possible.
Does it look like I am missing anything? Would you change anything- This is my first build, hoping it goes well.

I have a tuner lined up as well as a top exhaust guy- I have debated going custom duals all the way out(not a fan of dumped), with or without cats (not too concerned with emissions, just dont want hassled if hi-flow cats wont hurt)
The motor will see some spray again ~150 shot

How about an oil pump and timing cover seal and gasket. Also, either a longer balancer bolt or an install tool. Adjustable pushrod length checker and a set of light checker springs

don't forget a new OP pickup tube O ring if you do go w/ an oil pump. You should also replace your crank snout gasket too. It's in the center of the front cover.

Assembly lube

ETA
Also consider doing poly motor mounts while the headers/manifolds are off. I painted the clamshells while I had access to them. In fact, I painted a ton of stuff while it was removed.

Thanks guys- reminded me of a few things-
I think i have been talked into stepping down on the cam a bit- something slightly more streetable. Also ordering GM MLS instead of cometic.
