Get those lifter removal tools from Anderson Ford. Should take a couple hours off your job. Sounds like you're pretty well prepared.

There is no lifter removal tool. Your talking about the magnets that go down the push rod holes to keep the lifters from falling in, when you do a cam swap. You need the tool to remoce the fuel lines, I would take the distributor out because it's alot easyer to get the intake out. Other then that it's easy, make sure to soak the lifters in oil over night.
