Is there anything special I need to know before I do this?

Only 1 thing ,well I guess 2

When you pull the top rail and/or the injectors, make sure you don't loose one of the O-Rings.

They are some messed up size and to get them from GM is a PITA, and a bummer if you were planning on putting it back together the same day.

Ask me how I know...

Peace
Chip

P.S. Make sure you don't force it back together or you will pinch the o-Ring and have a gas leak. Which is not good on top of a hot motor...

believe it or not, if you do goof and pinch a ring, you can get more from the 'Help!' section at Advance Auto...the assortment runs around 8 bucks or so and you'll hafta search through them, but they are in there...I ruined my share of rings screwing around with my LS1...
