I get my truck back today! Yippee!
She has been in a local shop for about 3 weeks getting the following done:
1. rebuilt heads/compression check 2. new head/valve cover/exhaust header gaskets 3. new wires 4. new Edelbrock 600cfm carb 5. new Edelbrock cruise control kit 6. removal of unneeded vacuum lines (the cats and smog pump have been removed long ago) 7. engine tuning 8. new heater hoses I am very excited!  Can anyone offer some pointers on things to look for after such an invasive overhaul? I understand mechanics, but I am no wrench.

Well, everything seems fine. I drove it back to work, and she feels ALOT better. It is amazing what increased compression does for a motor! Anyway, here is a pic of the engine bay. I know there are a lot nicer ones out there, but she is looking great to me. Next up - Flowmaster 40 series.
