Bummer on the cam kerfuffle,
I hope those cams are non interference and you haven't bent any valves, fingers crossed.
I feel your pain here too, I do everything myself now after being through several similar episodes like yours. I figure if I stuff it up I learn and can replace whatever it is I stuffed up and it still works out cheaper than paying some numptie to stuff it up and make up excuses why I need to pay more.
Your just about there now and the years of mental torment and calculations will hopefully be worth it.
I hear you on the LSx engines. If you can fit a 1uz in that engine bay an LS7 with a supercharger will fit as well..... You won't need to worry about drive train power loss as you will see most of it in the rear view mirror when you stick your right foot into it.......
There has to be something to be said about boosting the hell out of an un opened 1uz for value for money.
Crack a beer and have a break from it for a while, it's a toy so enjoy it when you want to.
