Building a 650 hp Naturally Aspirated Drift Spec LS3 Part 2

The cylinder heads are put into place.

The ARP nuts are run down then torqued in steps in a cross pattern.  Like every other critical bolt and nut, it is important to burnish in the threads, washers, and seats as well as to use the correct ARP lubricant to get good torque readings.

Our pile of parts is starting to look like an engine!

We do a quick double-check to make sure our shaft stand shimming is correct for the lift our cam has.

Now our Crower shaft rockers and Engine Pro pushrods are installed and the valve lash is set.  That is some trick hardware and should prove to be quite reliable.

Our Mellings high volume and pressure oil pump is now installed on the nose of the crank.
