Thank you.
Ordered some ARP stainless 12 points. I can't stand the look of the stock bolts and I'm tired of the Allen ones stripping out. I think they set the colors off. I need to get some paint and body work done as well.

Price
I ordered at different times, the only ones they have as a kit are the valve covers. The others are sold as sets of 5. I ordered packs from summit racing and replaced as I went. The ones I just ordered where for the alternator, ac compressor, the two for dual fuel kit, and exhaust manifolds. If I had to guess I'd say around 700. Total.

Pic
This is an old pic. The manifold ones and a few others are in the mail. The front accessory ones are done as well.

When you said you swapped out the allens for 12 points I figured you were being a little too picky, but having seen this pic I'd say it looks waaay better!
I like the looks better, I don't want any rusty bolts with the powder coat. I used arp stailless kits on my gas motors and in my option it sets it off. I'm close to being able to start it. Dustin is working on some custom stuff for my transmission.
I have Dustins custom trans minus the billet shafts and it shifts awesome! I had a PPE stage 4 which was a good trans and served me well but this new build is a smooth shifting MOFO!
Trans
He custom built it with the billet parts when the motor was out last. I loved it, can't wait to see how this one does.

I'm probably going by Dustin's the first week of August, and I hope you've finished up but if you haven't I can't wait to see that truck.
Coolant tank showed up, HSP did a amazing job but what I was wanting. Not sure if I want to run just the one battery under the hood. I don't like the way the one was on the pass side frame rail.
Could you make a completely enclosed box and mount it in the bed in front of the passenger side wheel well?
It can be mounted high enough that you barely notice it. I will m post a picture of mine in a bit.
I have a low pro tool box in the bed, trying to not loose space there I'll prob put it in the spare tire area.
