If you dont want to buy new stuff u can use stock stuff. I bought all new arp bolts for everything lower intake,oil pan, header, timing cover..... Comes with everything just have to use some stock things. Also while u are there put new waterpump thermostat hoses and things like that. Just didnt want to chance things with the luck i have lol

well i think the kit comes with new bolts? maybe thats jsut head bolts but will the stock intake manifold bolts work with the aftermarket?

ya all the stock bolts will work but i suggest new lower intake bolts because they are probably nasty.

How many miles are on your motor, if theres quite a bit why not take it in and have it rebuilt and shortblocked, then you won't need to worry about how to do a cam and you'll know everything is go. More waiting involved, but I, personally would feel better about things. That's what I did with my motor. Pulled one from a junkyark and had the machine shop do their thing while I ran around on my old motor. Then dropped it in, in a weekend. Give yourself a lot of time don't expect to do it in one day, chances are your going to be needing something else you don't have.

You'll need a good socket set, new head bolts/studs (if it doesn't come w/ them), RTV, fuel line disco tools, PATIENCE....

I'm basically doing the same thing. I just replaced my head gaskets and will finish putting it together this weekend. It's not so bad, but having a little help will make it easier.
