I forgot to add to the list....

60MM throttle body.
APN Exhaust manifold which I am going to heat wrap (for the 7120 head ports)

7120 exhaust ports are bigger and the 0331 manifold wont cover the holes.... UPGRADE!

Wow this is a amazingly well, thought out build. Had a question about your shackle relo set up. You are running a 4.5 re coil in the frt and raised your spring buckets to level it out? Cause I to am running a 4.5 re spring and wish not to go much higher but would like to do shackle relo. Did the relo increase it that much?

Thanks man!

yeah thats how I got to my 5.5" of lift. the rear lifted about 3/4"-1" So I would just throw some 3/4" spacers up front and It should be good to go.

My rear setup is HD shackle reliocation brackets(1") , 3.5" RE leafs, and RE lift shackle (1") , and added a .5" overload pack for when I am loaded with gear. 6" in the rear. 5.5" up front...

My current set up is similar re 4.5 coils w/ 3/4 spacer, re 3.5 leaf paks and HD shackle. sits 5.5 all four corners. I have seen a couple relo designs and one I plan on copying. Is your shackle angle around 45 degrees?

You could ditch the HD shackle to suck up 1 inch and still be at 5.5" with relocation brackets....

I have gotten some porting done today... need to finish it up and then polish it. I am not trying to go very big with the ports, just clean out imperfections from casting and smooth out transitions a bit. The ports are already bigger then my stock head by quite a bit!
