    Am I missing anything? We're going to try and get started this friday. I can't wait.

    LQ9 block + .030
    stock rods
    stock 317 heads
    Diamond -14.9cc dish pistons
    Mahle rings
    ported LS6 oil pump
    LS6 valley cover
    rod bolts... ARP 234-6301
    head studs... ARP 234-4110
    cometic head gaskets .03"
    2 bar map

    I've been thinking about gasket matching the heads. Would it be worth it, on a blower motor?

    i would think that gasket matching regardless of the application; NA, blown, juice will help with the flow characteristics of the heads and intake system. i would do it if it was me... IMO good luck with everything keep us posted...

    The main studs are on their way.

    I&#39;ll be using the Comp 918&#39;s and hardened pushrods from my current motor. I have a spring checker, so we&#39;ll see if they&#39;re in good shape before they go on the new motor.

    I&#39;d like to step up to the 90mm intake, but I&#39;m trying to slow down on the spending. I need to save up for the 80e swap later this summer, and an intercooler is next on the list. I have a garage FULL of parts that I need to sell, so I hope to recoup some cash from that. I just want to get it back on the road and enjoy it for a while.

    thanks guys... I should have an update in a few days

    I know the feeling, my garage got so full of my hobbies that I had to rent a 10x15 space to store those that aren&#39;t on the front burner at the moment.
