how did the ports line up with the American Racing headers?
The spacing was perfect, there is definitely room for improvement on the exhaust ports.
ARP short studs worked fine w/ the L92's?
Yes, they worked fine.
I recognize those v/c's
We're going to swap the valve covers out in a couple of days for something that looks alittle better.

We got pretty damn close to starting it tonight. Tomorrow we need to pickup a dipstick, exhaust gaskets and plugs. Motor is 100% buttoned up and full of fluids. If all goes as planned we should have some noise tomorrow.

You guys must not realize I have a full time job and that wrenching on cars is my hobby. The car is buttoned up and outside under a car cover. We just got the injector O-rings late last night, they will be on sometime tonight.
