Mods are: zzp short stack intercooler, 1.9 rockers, 3.3 supercharger pully, pacesetter headers, no cat, flowmasters. Tuned

Stock rockers
105# ~ valve springs
valve seals
rocker bolts
gasket kit, entire engine gasket kit may be cheaper than cover, lim, etc.
new stock timing chain and dampener
balancer puller rent or buy and do a search for the correct bolts to be used on the 3800s
valve spring compressor tool rent or buy
assembly lube
coolant elbows
coolant
oil
tools.

One of the most often mistakes or overlooks is the break in oil. when installing all this crap water gets into areas that eventually end up in the oil pan, the best thing to prevent a spun bearing is to change the oil after the first startup, then again after a few miles. You may want to change it more than that. Use cheap oil if you want on the first couple changes.

per those instructions, dont use dexcool, and you dont need new cam or balancer(crank) bolts.

off topic but how long have you had that ssic? and do you wish you had bought the full size?

remove the front knock sensor to get most of the coolant out of the block.

Yup and it helps if you pull the knock sensor and then rock the motor forward a few times
