Well I have run into a few little problems. Nothing too serious though. The motor is out, slave has been replaced, flywheel has been resurfaced, motor and all parts cleaned up inside and out, new cam installed, lifters intalled, and ls9 timing set and melling oil pump has been installed.
Dealership gave me the wrong head bolts even though the vin was provided to them! I did forget to buy a front main seal.
Only things left to do are to install heads, timing cover and front main seal, and install all accessories, flywheel, and clutch to the motor. The new motor mounts need mounting, and then the motor is good to drop back in!!! Hope to have it done by friday
