I got ya, sorry I didn't see the auto tranny. One trick I learned along the way, before you lift the heads pull the water pump off and take a shop vac and put it over the water pump ports in the block and suck as much coolant out as you can. This will help with getting coolant every where. Also might want to add hardened pushrods to the list.

and picked up the oil today
0w30 European Formula Castrol
i really didnt wanna waste money on a stall as i plan on buying a new Camaro eventually and didnt wanna sink the money into this one
but from what i hear the cam will only leave me wanting more which means id need a stall too
i got about 2500 i can sink into this car for everything
what can everyone recommend then?
