Parts List
To give you a closer look at the parts involved in this small-block buildup, we have included photos and price tags. While we did go over the projected $2,500-dollar budget, it wasn't by much, so don't tell my wife about the extra $359 dollars.

Before install, the tappets on the hydraulic lifters are lubed with the supplied cam lube. | 
We choose to preload the lifters by pumping oil into them until it flowed out of the top. | 
Some installers will soak them in oil and wait for the bubbling to stop, but we decided this would be faster. |
Here it is the SysteMax II kit. The Aluminum Holley heads come preassembled right from the box, with ARP head bolts, studs, and washers. | 
Included in the kit are the cam, lifters, pushrods... | 
...and intake. |
