You will need an engine stand (if you are going to do this outside of the car), engine hoist, metric sockets including deepwell, extensions, foot pound torque wrench, inch pound torque wrench ( didnt use one), breaker bar, and an impact wrench will help(flywheel). Thats about it you can get it all for under $500.

You really just throw the cams in? I always thought they had to be a certain way, or........well more involved then that haha. I know they have to be timed when you get it running.

The reason you put the crank key at 12 oclock is that is the safe mode for the engine (all pistons below deck) so you can spin the cams and the valves will never touch the pistons. This allows you to spin the cam to line up the timing marks. Way easier the puting the engine at TDC and installing the cams at 12 and 11 oclock then having to compress the valve springs to ger the cam followers in.

You can do that with stock cams. But truthfully, every cam install should be degreed for max performance/safety.
Nice writeup oxfordgt. Where did you get those bolt pattern/wiring diagrams? Those will definitely be helpful to me.
1 question: Why did didn't you use ARP headstuds?
