Alight so when I get all the parts im planning to put in I'm thinking I'll pull the engine. I figure that should make installing the cam a lot easier.

Cam
Headers
3.4 Pulley MPS
180 T-Stat
90# Springs & Standard Retainers
New Timing Chain

Should I do anything else while I have the engine pulled?

I might also buy a shift kit from ZZP to maybe help support the tranny since it will pretty much be at its limit.

Yeah definitely get the shift kit!

I'm thinking the headers will have to be done with the engine in the car.

Sounds like a solid build you have going on. I'll have to check it out sometime.

Tensioner
A bunch of gaskets including the oil pan.

Alright thanks guys. By tensioner do you mean the assembly with the pulley? And Zul well deff have to meet up

So this is for the Comp G?
You had the purple decalled gtp right?
Where's all this time and money coming from now to fix up a much nicer car?

Yea I had the purple gt lol. I have time and money now because I'm working full time now opposed to 2 days a week when I was in high school. Took a year off of school so I can chill and get things in order. So now instead of $90 a week I'm making $300 or more if I decide to pick up more shifts. And the gt was a lost cause so I sold it to a friend for $1k.

Lol why can't you do headers with the motor outside the car?

And by tensioner he means timing chain tensioner.

Grab a cam install kit at least dude! I would advise a full engine gasket kit.

What cam are you going with?

I'm looking at the vs cam off zzp, that's what chico suggested for a DD. And I only have about 58k on the car so idk if that would change any suggestions.

Why would you do a new timing chain but not do a new tensioner? lol

You should still get a cam install kit. Your going to need new rocker bolts anyway.

Lol I was just throwing it out there :p and where can I order a cam install kit?

Kit choice is up to you. Their are differing opinions on whether you need to get a cam and crank bolt but to be honest why put yourself in the position to worry just replace em. I'd go kit 4.

Alright thanks man.

Just make sure you choose L32 and ignore option 3 lol. You already know that but just making sure :p

Another thing, order thrust plate bolts too. Just in case.

What are thrust plate bolts for? Prob a stupid question lol.
