Dan I do not see any daylight thru the valve covers and intake! I looked in every pic! U need atleast 1/4" Clearance as the gaskets are new and have not seated yet! If they are touching now then u will soon see what I mean. Just throwing out my experience here

They aren't touching and it is up to eddie. You may have noticed the very thick valve cover gaskets that are on it also. If he has any issues he will address them and I am sure he will run a stee gasket impregnated with rubber and gain any clearance he needs.

I don't know what u mean by a new gasket needing seat time? I never retorwue any gaskets on any of my builds and some have went 70k miles (SFCOUPE). Thanks for tryna help, I know u meant well.

Im hopin to be able to fire it this week. I got a deal on a SCT eliminator chip with the switch, so I'm waiting for that to show up so I can have my ducks in a row come dyno day. I can't wait to get this thing going!

Making more progress on getting everything all buttoned up so that I can drop the motor in hopefully tomorrow.

Here are a few new pics of my progress

Still need to install the alt bracket tomorrow and finish nickel and diming myself to death on nuts and bolts.

My want to have all new fasteners is killing the shit out of my wallet. LOL [Big Grin]

Oh well, when I'm done I'll know every nut and bolt was new, torqued, and damage free.

I got the tranny ready to go today too, TOB installed, new sensors installed, bellhousing bolted up to case, etc...

Time for bed now, and back at it first thing in the morning. [patriot] [patriot]

Don't jinx me sir. I've done my best to be very careful.
Out of my list of mistakes I made today, thankfully that was not one of them. [Big Grin]

Just need to now connect all the fuel ststem stuff up, put the tank back in etc....

Thanks for jinxin me Dan, scratched (bruised) the upper corner on my driver side valve cover.

Those are support number magnets. I just keep em on my fridge until I need them in an account.

And all of this was done on a shoestring budget:D
