The rest of the pics are just reassembly. Very simple but a bit time consuming. I'll get them up tonight when I get back from putting some miles on it. Total cost was not too bad. The 95" kit retails for $739 but can be had for less online. And I discovered teh that the base o rings I thought were missing from the kit were actually there.

The wrist pin clip installers would have helped, but you can get by with a needle nose pliers. Also the pushrod clip installed would have made this part a bit easeir but I used a screwdriver and brute force.

Torque wrenches are a must. Manual is a must with the torque values. 12 point socket for the headbolts. I already forgot the size.

Rob, what did you find out about the fueling camplate and oil pump?

Let me know when you do the build, I want to help. I'm planning the same build, but may get Big Boyz to work the heads and go with the 37 cam.

When I get to the heads they are planned. Who has a used set of TC88 heads they want to sell cheap? If you have them I'll have them sent them directly to Big Boyz for port and polish. Pm with pricing if you got 'em!
