Default Have all the parts, bolt em all up?

I have now collected these parts:
stage 2 heads
FLP's
SY3500
computer
216-220 cam
all gaskets etc.

My ? is I don't want to spend 3 days straight putting ALL the parts on. Should I first put the TQ conv. in, then in a week or two tackle the motor stuff and headers? Also would like to make sure I don't have any codes with the TQ conv. first. What would you do?

Hey dan, make sure you check out your header package and see if you got the right parts. I remember from ls1.com I was waiting to get my headers around the same time from the same sponsor as yourself. I didnt get any gaskets or bolts, and got three extra wideband clamps. Also I got 4 2.5" v clamps instead of 2 3" vclamps and 2 2.5" v clamps. So..Im waiting for them to be overnighted so I can run my car again. Just double check so you dont get in the same situation as I have been in. I wont even get into the header bolt that broke off into the head less than half way in with little to no force applied to it..
Good luck sounds like your going to have one sweet setup there.
