Yea, me and a buddy did it to his SSS when he threw on some L92s. Me and him both have the same book that you have.

I have the same book, but they kinda skim over the modification a little quickly...do the holes go on one side of the tray, and which way do they face? I plan to do this when I put my LQ9 together...

Looks like you would only need them on the low side since they are installed at an angle.

Looks like you need a mullet to work on cylinder heads. Wouldn't you be embarassed to have your picture taken with hair/hygene like that? Why is it all these car engine books always have a sterotypical redneck working on stuff? Where's the Lynrd Skynerd (sp?) CD? Does it come with the book too?
