Eventually I'll be doing a 6bolt swap and I just didn't think about it when I was out there.

I might not be reading this right, I'm confused for some reason. But I do the wiring on the vehicle end of the harness. So not cas wont matter. It would be nice to have a crap one so you can use the connector for a less permanent solution though. I think it's RRE or FP that sells a plug and play harness though. Did a 6 bolt swap with one last week, what a time saver that thing was... 60 bucks or so very well spent IMO, but maybe I'm just getting lazy in my old age

I might end up having enough cash before winter to get this Block/Head Hot Tanked; The Block Honed; Crank Pollished and the (stock) Rotating Assembly Ballanced w/Flywheel. I bought a Cometic 85.5mm New for $45 On here about 6 months ago (Hope to god I dont have to Bore the block), and I was wondering if I needed a "RA30" Head finish done while the block and head was at the machinest for a better seal with this HG? I'll also (eventually) be buying ARP head studs just becasue their isn't much point of skimping $90 once you'll gone that far.
Am I missing anything? Thanks Guys!

The HG will be a little bigger than the bore it is rated for, so boring it out should not cause a problem with the gasket. You should definitely let the machinist know that the setup will include a metal HG that requires a smoother finish than normal. I dont think my guy goes as far as verifying that its RA 30, but it works. Many poeple go to the cometic gasket thinking they will get a better seal only to blow it out easier than a stock unit because they didnt machine the parts to the correct finish. And yes, definitely do the studs. It's not even an option. The meanest HG in the world with the most ideal surface can't seal shit when the head bolts stretch
