Take the hood off its a lot eaiser

 

I agree. One important thing is to leave the hinges attached to the hood and only unbolt them from the frame. This will make putting on and aligning the hood much easier. I also use the writeup from www.ls1howto.com.

What cam did you go with? Did you also do heads or intake?

 

Went with the 224r on a 112 lsa from texas speed. Was going to go with a TR224 but the lift is higher on the texas cam and when i get new heads it'll make just a little more power.

Also added a ls6 intake. No heads yet debating on what ones to get.

 

5.3's from texas-speed!
