Started the job yesterday, finished tonight, worked a little both days.I bought the tool to slip the push rods out, worked great! Fel pro gasket kit, new GM bolts, bypass hoses, thermostat, flush radiator, Gates radiator hoses, fresh oil change. I knew going in it was a big job, mainly because I had no experience with this style of engine and had to remove: coil packs, Power steering pump, alternator, air cleaner housing, washer fluid tank, valve covers and EGR valve and deal with alot of electrical, cooling and vacuum lines. I'm actually looking forward to installing all new gaskets in my old square body that has a 454. Thanks for the tips!
