Here's the scoop: My headers need to be replaced, and I want heads. I just want to maximize all the *little* projects while I'm in there. For example:

1) Swapping to the LS6 valley cover (PCV)
2) Putting new LS7 lifters in
3) Replacing motor/tranny mounts with Prothane

Am I forgetting anything? Anyone have any golden nuggets they'd like to share?

 

LS2 lifter trays, stronger than LS1's and won't let the lifters turn out of round.

 

Yep, I knew I was forgetting something. They're cheap too. What else guys?

 

Look into upgrading the trunion for your rockers, and plan to install new head gaskets and head bolts.
