Took me and Nate about 18 hours.

But yet the job is done. Had one helluva time getting the #8 cylinder retainer locks on the valve stem. Other then that it wasn't too bad. Had to run out to the store a few times, which set us back a few hours.

What went in:
TSP 233/239 Cam
Patriot Gold Dual Valve Springs
Hardened Push Rods
TSP ported LS2 Oil Pump
LS2 Timing Chain

First starting out.

Pulling the rocker arms.

Radiator's out.

Some parts...

...that I don't need.

Me trying to grind down a bolt...

Our wonderful working wooden dowels.

Stocker coming out.

Taking a peek inside.

That hole needs something...

New valve springs getting put on. Just about done, too.

That was pretty much about it for the pictures. I have some video, but I need to size it down, then I'll post it. But I do have a short video of me pulling her out of the garage. Click
