How are you going to do the exhaust? Under or loop over the axles? What kind of mufflers? I like my Magnaflows. Oil pump primed and leak check? Watch those plug wires to your headers - good wire loom?
Double-check your clutch fork adjustment. Watch the clearance of your exhaust to your starter motor. I probably got more things... email me if you want. I just recently been through this. Good luck!
The guy at the muffler shop is going to run the pipes under like the factory H/E are with a single dual in dual out Camaro muffler. I wanted it quiet. I will be running the plug wires using a loom that bolts to the valve covers and holds the wires in place very well. The engine does not even have oil in it yet, just assembley lube on everything. I am running a high torque starter and with the pipes running low I shouldnt have a problem with that. The clutch seems to be ok but I will double check everything again before I run the car. I will do a pre oil prime on it before I start it. Thanks for the advice though. If you think of anything else, post it. I wont be starting it till this weekend at the earliest.
