After he checked clearances it was time to set the ring gap .
I must have said something funny at that moment

Cam installed and being degreed in to verify cam timing is correct .
Also time to check PTV( actually did this after the 1st piston was installed although I've done enough camshafts now to know this cam would fit beforehand)

Time to add some heads . We used a Cometic .045 thick MLS gasket on this build. A OEM head gasket would have been cheaper, as these are overkill, but I wanted to set the quench at .040" since the pistons sit out of the hole .005", and there are no GM gaskets that thin.

Didn't get pictures of the oil pan and timing cover installation , but we just used the old stuff after some clean up of course. Time for the removal of the original 5.3 and the addition of around an extra 150 rwhp !!!
