Things i should replace when the plenum is removed

[V8shoheser]

I plan on getting my cams welded in july right now the car has been parked since last summer yes 104xxx and its still running strong. things i planned on replacing were the spark plugs and posibly the back four coils because the front are pretty easy to get to. I know i have a plugged injector but should i replace all of them while im at it. Any other things i should replace would help me out greatly. oyeah i plan on doing a full coolant flush and replacing all the hoses and thermostat as well. thanks

Be sure to check the insulation or rather re-insulate the rear coil loom.

Good luck on the hoses as some are obsolete. If you have the original coolant tank that needs replaced. Most of the hoses can be replaced with bulk hose with the exception of...

Bottom hose of coolant tank to lower radiator hose, OEM available.

Lower and upper radiator hose, aftermarket available.

Block to oil cooler hose, obsolete but you can find some hoses with similar shape to cut out.

Bottom of water pump to heater hose. Aftermarket available.

Small hoses coming from the heads to the coolant tank. These are obsolete and no aftermarket. But if you get a 1/4" mNPT x 3/8" x 45* and a 1/4" mNPT x 3/8" x 90* brass hose barbs you can then use bulk 3/8" hose.

The heater hoses, the short 2" hoses at the water pump and the oil cooler to water pump (1/2") hoses can all be bulk hose.

Cause the black top OEM one is a POS and will have cracks on the bottom.
