I put all ARP hardware on the bottom (main studs, new rod bolts.)
Hopefully it'll be to this stage in the next month.. I just set everything on to see how it'd look...

What cam are you using? Looks great BTW! Congrats! :cheers:
And yes, that's a custom lid I made out of phenolic sheet to get rid of all the junk on the underside of the stock lid (so it's smooth) and reduce heat that gets transferred to the throttle bodies.
