Nope but it will be today.For some reason I thought the engine was already on a stand
MAW
This is nonsense!
A cam swap and 8psi of boost is supposed to be a simple weekend project right? 
Triple post!
Thoughts on these? I have 317’s now

How much difference will they make if you are adding atmospheres?
$1700 each, correct? That's a decent amount in my mind.
They are sold in as a pair, cheap budget heads. Comparing the flow numbers it will give a bit more up top but I’m not sure it’s worth the $1700
Ahh, I didn't see they were sold as a pair. If your heads needed freshened up, I would go for it, but otherwise I would spend the money elsewhere or save it.
I am slightly confused why you pulled the head rather than pulling the engine. Now it's head gaskets and bolts, unless I missed that you already have ARP.
Well as Richard Holdener says the better the NA motor, the better it does on boost, so MAW....
The lifter fell down passed where the cam slides in, I thought I could just pull a head and get to it but I was wrong.
I kind of screwed the pooch and what turned into a simple half a day job now has turned into a few weeks.
Ahh.
Luckily it’s really easy to pull this engine and even right now goofing around I’ll have only about 6 hours invested into hanging it on a stand.
This is going to cause a leak between the trans and transfer case….
Hey you don’t say that!!!!
One of the reasons it’s coming out, these are always loose….
Pulled
Not helping the t case issue
Yup, thinking about drilling them out and upsizing the bolt.
Nord washers? and or Prevailing Torque lock Nut. Grade 8, all of it.
