Just an update: I got a nice set of 243 LS2 heads and got everything off the car. I decided to do poly motor mounts since everything is off the car.

I had to move over the springs that came with my cam over to the new heads

A little gift for the wife

Taking off the motor mounts was a real PITA, Poly's should be arriving in a few days

I'm trying to find out what Header gaskets I need, would regular LS1 gaskets work or do I need the LS6 gaskets, the exhaust port on the heads is slightly different

Build looks like it is going well, you should almost thank the wife for un-intentionally helping you get new toys. The blood and sweat part of it sucks but you will be happy when you are done that you did the heads and mounts

just an update, I finally got the motor mounts in after alot of swearing and crying, getting those mounts lined up in 100+ degrees by yourself in your driveway is not fun. Put in new LS7 lifters and new trays as well and got it all back together last night. It was dark when I finished so I'll start it up today and check for leaks.
Soaked the Lifters in oil for about 30 minutes before putting them in.

I painted my Waterpump, Throttle Body and valve covers with Black Engine Enamel while they were off

anything I need to watch for when I start it up for the first time?

Dude, in that last photo, the rag was still in front of the throttle body. Yes, it was far away, but, still in front. I would keep all rags completely off the entire engine after all that you have been through!
LOL. Nice choice on all the parts. I hope it run's better than ever. Good luck!

BTW ... if I work on my car and leave the battery connected, I put a big assed sign on the windshield that says "DO NOT START !!" , and also hide the keys to avoid a mishap like this.

You went through hell, but got it upgraded in the process.
