The best way is take your car apart @ home,have head,intake etc. clean ready to go back together,I always set head,intake,bolts,pushrods rockers etc., all back in place @ home basically put all back together and just start bolts,that way you don't get to track putting back together and find out you left something @ home.
Show up on first day of pro am Friday of Sat. and Sun races,I always call the tech man and see when is good time to be there.
Since yours has'nt been apart this would really be good ideal, in case you have broken bolts or anything else that might need fixed. Measure head diameter of valves,they get bigger after miles,will flatten out 45 and make burr,best description around valve and cause head to measure big.
LT won't be too bad to put back,lot easier than LS,I know guys take heads off LS in the car,but I believe I would just as soon drop engine out bottom, I had to put water plug in pass head of my sons I left out ,I thought I was going to have to drop engine back out to get it in there, finally got it though.

Great advice rt there! Thanks! I was mainly afraid to pull it apart at IRR since I still have the stock exhaust manifolds on it. I just KNOW those will be a B!#$%. Headers to be installed soon. I ran it at Palm Beach last night. Got some decent rear shocks since the converter showed me how bad the 158k old ones were. Night and day! LOL! It actually pulls a baby wheelie and the shorties fell from 1.72 to a new best of 1.68. Now if I can just get it to shift waayyy sooner(next project).
