Am I the only one who noticed that not all the head bolt holes arent being used. I know the LSX block is set up for a 6 bolt setup. those heads have the provisions for that too but you are only running the 4 bold set on it. Why not run all the head studs?

No worries I am aware they are not installed "yet".
I had to wait for ARP to send the washers that go under the nuts. Somehow they had been misplaced.
...Sidenote last May you sold me the Radio Bezel that is currently in my car. Any chance this is yours?? Found it stuck behind the ashtray yesterday. Haha

Almost done!!
LOL well I am still waiting on the manifold but it will be finally completed very soon.
So in this down time of waiting I ended up relocating the coil packs to the inner fenders, replacing my headlight lenses, c5 axles, arp studs, fresh set of 345 NT05Rs & installed a front tow hook.
Its looking like I will have the car ready for Corvette Invasion July 15th 16th.
If anyone is going to the show this coming weekend chime in!
Soon as I get the manifold I will be reviving this dead thread with many update pictures & start up video

Why? There are so many better options out there, options that don't involve an iron block, and that make more power than this will. Or, did you just do it for the sheer sake of stating that you have a 454 crate engine?
