My car goes back together today!! Oh Joy!!

Today is the day. I finally got my heads back from the shop and the transformation begins. I am so excited!

I have to finish hooking up my battery box and get my dash put back together after the white face gauge install, but other than that it's all engine work. I have the cam in so I just have to check my piston to valve clearence and install the heads if that looks ok (keeping my fingers crossed cause it's gonna be close) then the intake and all the other little stuff. Anyone have any tips for putting an engine back together that may be of importance like putting black rtv around the intake ports? Any little tidbits of shade tree mechanic type info I should know? I have waited over 3 weeks now to make sure everything goes back together right and I don't want to miss anything. I'm kinda new at this engine building stuff. Thanks.

Oh yeah, all you engine buffs go hang in the Mustang Works chat room today so I can get some tech assistance when I run into problems
