Bill, you got a Bingo.
pics are self explanitory..im hoping my oem fuel pump will take it, if not, hehe, i suppose, will order even more goodies..hehehehhe
Odometer is exactly at 179,900 or 112,437 miles.
Hehehe it has begun ladies and gents.
Tomorrow my LIM will come out, I'm gunna end up draining the rest of the coolant..my question is, is there a seperate water jacket that i can drain on the LIM itself..so i dont, you know, douse my pushrods and cam and what not in coolant lol ?
and yes Bill, any info u can throw at me that might better my build, please, feel free hehehe thanks.

You might want to keep the LIM on right up untill your going to port it. When I had mine off over nite it was already starting to rust under the balancer. I think Bill kept pouring oil over his to keep it from doing this so thats another option.

Correct. It'* a bitch to drain it down below that level (removing the WP would be the most practical). Even the heater bypass hoses won't drain it all, you WILL get coolant in the lifter valleys.
Best thing to do is leave it sealed until you're ready as suggested, especially with the moist air this time of year.
After you pull it off, douse the lifter valleys with cheap oil, and drain. Do that every week or two with another quart until it goes back together.

I will probably remove it here today, clean it up a bit here and there, then just set the LIM back ontop of the old gaskets and heads, i will do the oil thing as well for sure.
I have to order my LIM gasket kit from the dealer.
