I knew things were going too well. Back to typical SBF bs. Barely leaned on the top 2 wp bolts and they snapped. Getting the pump in without pulling the a/c bracket was a non starter. 1 of the long wp bolts was a bolt/stud with the head behind the bracket. Then, 2 of the 4 long bolts were froze, requiring the heat wrench to free them. Then the lower thermostat bolt is froze. Timing cover has to come off anyway to get a straight shot at it. Being a SBF, it undoubtably needs a timing chain. At least all these parts are cheap lol! Rock Auto is digging this project. After snapping those bolts, tunes changed to Robert Cray blues.

Wonder if the Fox ARP timing chain/water pump bolts will work on this setup?

I used these on both of my cars and all I can say is way better than the OEM stuff.
