Did you get lifters with it for that price? You will need them.
You also need a set of intake gaskets, fuel pump gasket,valve cover gaskets, a timing chain cover gasket and seal kit (Might come with water pump gaskets, I don't remember...), and an oil pan gasket. Also some RTV and some gasket cement. Did I miss anything? Maybe another $50 or $75 if you have the lifters, and reuse the pushrods. Somebody help me out if I forgot anything, or if I guesstimated the price of the parts incorrectly. Slonaker |
