Okay this is probably gonna get pretty long. Okay I'm not sure how much you've already done so I'll start off in the begining. Drain the coolant, disconnect hoses. Label and disconnect all vac. lines etc. from the upper intake. Take the bolts out of the upper. Pull the upper intake. Take off the valve covers, disconnect the fuel lines, take out the lower intake. Now take off the rocker arms and push rods and keep them together. Label them cyl. 1 I\E. I pushed my push rods thru a piece of card board and put the rocker arm next to it. Now pull the alt.\ac\powersteering pump. off and lay them aside. I just took off the bolts and layed them in the side of the engine compartment with everything still attached. Take the headers off.(remember they attach to the h-pipe too) Then take the head bolts out. Pull the heads. Remember those heads are heavy.

Clean everything really well. Install in reverse order. Remember to use oil on the upper head bolts and a thread sealant on the bottom head bolts. Follow all torque sequences. Have fun and take your time.
