Side note...Cliff your post count is more pathetic than mine!!LOL 2001!! How is your car doing? Hit 8's yet?
Okay guys.....The problem I am having is a dumb *** move on my part.
I had the heads and intake on, mocked up. I literally am a couple of hours away from vroom. But nnnoooooooooooo................my dumb *** bought the wrong ARP head bolts. They are the longer variety.
I need shorter bolts. This issue would seem a minor one. No one has any in the area readily available. So I couldn't go out Sunday and get them. I am having a speed shop order some locally so they will be here by Wednesday. HOPEFULLY.God I hate doing a big *** project like this on limited time. Most nights I don't get home until 9 PM. I went and got plugs and fluids. They stare at me mocking my efforts.

Are you certain your wife can handle it? Your ultimate goal, regardless of engine displacement, should be nothing less than putting her in a vehicle that you have the utmost confidence in. That means nothing breaking, always reliable and easy for her to drive. Are you building that?

i think i know that guy, it sounds like exactly something he would say and he uses that call name or variations of it on every forum, he drives a piece of **** 4.8 sierra that has had the fuel pump whine for like 6 months. he's a douche. don't worry about him. can you link me to that thread i would love to read it. oh and good luck on the TB i wonder how it would stack up against a stock TBSS.
Here you go. Enjoy.

Oh and another thing. Does anyone have access to the torque patern for the heads? I have lost mine. I would lose my nuts though if I didn't keep'em in a sack at all times.
