Better cam..sorry not trying to be a smart ass..just trying to get you thinking before you drop that outdated bump stick in there....might want to add RTV black for the intake and blue for the water pump, also lube for the head bolts..the ARP lube is quite good.

You would have major P to V clearance issues with the X303.

e or x cam outdated?? surely you jest-yes, they are older profiles, but they still work well, and they don't beat up the valvetrain

That's a good list..especially a good friend, sometimes they're the ones that save you from the stupid mistakes you can make when you get tired or frustrated. They also come in handy you need to problemsolve.

indeed they are DMAN-been too many times I've saved someone from doing something ignorant, or vice versa...

good time to get a new PCV and screen. Depending on the shape of your current valve cover gaskets, you might change those (I get the blue rubber ones w/ metal inside - $35 at Autozone).

The ARP thread sealer is nice

Fix all vacuum hoses while you're in there. Make sure to get your MAF calibrated for your 24lb injectors.

Check all of your fusible links and wires for breaks, cracks, etc.

Get a good gasket scraper, degreaser (and/or brake cleaner), and some PB Blaster for any stuck bolts.
