I spent the next hour installing ARP studs for the valve cover and oilpan.

It makes putting the gasket on a little easier and it looks nice, but it is primarily gratuitous and as it happens, a LOT of work. Russ had no problem with me doing it but refused to take part. ;)

Set the gasket down

We RTV'd under and over both ends where they can sometimes leak and pressed it down onto the studs.

And then installed the oil pan.

Basically the same operation for the valve cover but with less photos.

Installed a block heater in the rear freeze plug, and then the rest of the freeze plugs.

And that's it, A complete motor.

Wrapped up, and ready to go to Stinkyfab waiting for an install.

There will be some spiffy bolt on's going in with it, but I'll cover all of that in the Project Unicorn thread. At some point in the next week or so Russ intends to write up what this would have cost retail and I'll come back here with that info, for those who are curious, but it would be in the $8500-$9000 range. I'm happy that I didn't pay anywhere near that (i bought the parts myself, re-used some from 4643, and Russ hooked me up on machine work and labor).
