That's good advice but I decided to risk it. Just trying to get the engine ready at minimal cost and effort. I was also concerned I'd bust cam tower bolts or have a head stud problem. "Ready" is getting set at runs and fluids don't blow out of it. If it loses a head gasket dramatically I'll have done it wrong.

I was mulling over moving the cams and FI system to a 4.7L block and heads and having the heads done...and then realized I was lining myself up for ~$700 and another 15 hours of work.
