Good tip on using the old bolts while painting. Had not thought of that.
The guy helping me assemble (well, I'm probably helping him) has a subscription to All Data Pro. I assume all that info is on there.
Hey, what's the small air tube on top of the intake mani for? It broke when we were pulling it out. The rubber grommets were split anyway. I need to order a new one, but can't find it.

All data has just about everything as far as the info Goes for one of these... **** we called them once and asked them to get us the tourque specs for a 1952 caddilac 331 Engine we restored at work. We had the specs withen an hour.
Now thats not to say there isn't some things that aren't on there for some cars, but I can't say I have seen any missing info Domestic stuff so far...

Right on top of the intake mani. Can't get a picture of the intake right now, it is off getting cleaned.
Edit: Here is the part number for the below: 17113556 The actual piece has a rubber grommet on both ends of the tube.

I went to the dealer and they found it. On order, $29! I'll post the part number tomorrow.
Got everything back from the machine shop today. We balanced the crank this afternoon. He let me 'assist'. With the heavier rods and pistons, we couldn't get it perfect. We ended up with a pretty even 29grams and 6 degrees. If this was a race motor going to 7k, we would have spent more time on it, but from what I can tell, this is better than factory specs.
Assembly starts tomorrow evening.

Started on the motor today. Pretty much got it wrapped up. All went together smooth. Going in the truck tomorrow. Hope to be done before the Super Bowl.
