the merv, dont make my mistake and keep the opti, change it in order to eliminate ever single place of error, I'm always doubting when its going to crap out.

good luck, looking good so far.

That is a fairly new OPTI judging by the condition of it. I think the previous owner had it changed(25,000 miles ago).
The Internals are Eagle Forged Rods with ARP Bolts, Speed-Pro Forged Pistons with Moly Rings, Stock Crank, Polished. The whole Rotating Assembly is Balanced. LT4 Extreme Duty Timing Set, 4-Bolt Main. The Heads and Intake will go on tomorrow. I have a set of Manley Head Bolts.
One of the Bolts on #2 Rod I think got torqued a little too much, but it still made the Wrench click, so it should be good. My Torque Wrench was messing up for a bit.
