1. you should replace rodbolts in all LS1s. this would mean you would have to drop the k member anyways. why not just do heads, cam, stall, rod bolts etc out of the car? its sooooo much easier. plus your back wont kill you from you bending over a fender.

For full heads? Are you serious? I mean, my build is a ways off but if I could get a set of pulloffs for that price now I'd jump all over it.
