it's not that hard, should take you 5 min. (i found out the hard way and had to drill and tap with the engine in the car).
there is also one hole you can drill and tap for the ac compressor. the original uses 4 holes but it will work with 3.

where did you get the cam from?

Let me know if you get them in and running, I'm sure you will have yours running before I even get my injectors in.....

Dirty....... I called Comp and talked to Chris and he gave me the cam grind number and i gave that grind number to AP Engineering and they ordered my cam and put in while there were doing my shortblock...... I hope it sounds as mean as it looks....... and with the 114+4 is shouldnt bleed of any boost.

Bos, I just Talked to Chris at AP Engineering and he told me to start it up with them and if shes running to rich (burning my eyes) he said to turn it off and switch to stockers cause it will glaze the cylinder walls and not let the rings seat properly.....
I will keep you all posted...... I am waiting on the Injectors and head studs so as of now.... the motors sitting on the ground next to the car still but ready to go in...... im headed down to Harbour frieght right now to buy a tap fo rthe other bolt hole on my block.
Dirty, does a M-10 sound right with a 1.25 thread pitch?????

Ill post new pics as we progress. Thanks to Tommy for helping me.
