    Yeah. Looks good. I totally broke the threads on my camshaft bolt trying to use the old one when I did the double roller install.. so that took longer waiting for a new bolt which was a little tricky to find. Wish I did the camshaft while I was in there but I have something to look forward to next year. With that said, if you haven't you should put a double roller on while you're in there :)

      Intake Plenum Kit
      Intake Gasket Kit
      Timing Cover Kit

      Those 3 kits from Advance Auto will have everything you need, minus a timing chain and dampener. They're just under $100, IIRC. Thing with the ZZP kit is it's designed for the FWD cars, so the intake manifold gaskets may be different.

      I reused my old crank and cam bolts and you won't need rocker bolts; run down to your local auto parts store tomorrow and price the three kits I told you (need upper intake, lower intake, and timing cover) and compare the price. It may be easier, cheaper, and smarter to go with the kit from Advance Auto than the kit from ZZP. Then all you'll need is the timing chain and dampener ($70, IIRC) and some lube (for assembly you queers :P)

            i would also go ahead and pick the the 2 coolant elbows, as they are very prone to breaking when you remove the lim. (can be found on zzp as well)
