Go extractors if you got the coin 4 it as they are hard to fit once the engine is in, go proper ones too like paccies or hi-techs, not just the crappy hsv things. Move the coil somwhere more accesible whichever way you go, so it is easy to get to in the future. Unsure about dizzy, but they are not very expensive, have a look on ebay, ive seen em there for nix. But all sounds good what your doing, seals and welsh plugs are excelent ideas.
yeah im hopping to have her on the road soon its costing a total of 650-850 for the whole conversion vnv8 and trans out vrv6 and trans out and vn v8 vr v8 trans in etc etc most places where asking minimum 1000
