Default Heads / Cam / Intake check list

ok... I'm doing all the work end of the month

Here's what I have

1 ARE Oil Pump
1 RollerMaster double timing chain
1 ASP Crank Pulley
1 TR224
16 Crane 144530-16 lifters
16 TR Hardened push rods (7.400)
2 TEA Stage 2 5.3L Heads
1 LS6 Intake Manifold
1 set FLP Long tube headers
1 TR heads/cam install kit (gaskets and bolts)
1 Ported TB
8 Taylor Wires (thundervolt)
8 NGK TR5 plugs

Special Tools:
Pulley puller for stock pulley
Angle gauge
Torque wrench

I'm reusing stock rocker arms, and the heads have Comp 987 double springs w/titanium retainers.


Is there anything else I'll need to buy? (either tools, or other parts) ? I want to do this all at once, don't want to have the car parked for weeks while I'm waiting for parts. Computer programming isn't an immediate issue as I have LS1 Edit.

Thanks everyone

Mike

Block off plates for the Air pump connections on headers. Another EGR block off if youre getting the 98-00 design.

New bolt/belt for the pulley, I dont remember if I gave you one.

Extra coolant lines/block offs for the LS6 intake.

Otherwise your list looks pretty complete.
