Sure if you can spare them for a while - if not, I'll just make a set since I'll need them twice (removal & reinstallation) and am probably going to be dressing up the 4.7 a bit once it arrives before installation (cam towers, pulleys, etc). I don't want to mess up anything you have going from a timing perspective as it seems like you're pulling or reinstalling a motor every couple weeks LOL
Let me know and I'll shoot you some $ for postage - don't think I'm headed towards Atlanta in the next couple weeks.

Boxed and ready to go. PM your address. They go out today.
Did you get the separate box Pete? Hopefully the engine gets there in one piece. I was thinking about the starter bracket. If you are doing a lower clutch cover starter mount for an early car you will remove the flywheel and remove that starter bracket. I also included exhaust gaskets, timing back cover o-rings, and the belt we talked about in the box. It will be some work but you can do this.
The Cams you have available to you may be better than the 4.7L USA cams on the motor I sent.

Thanks BC. No, no box yet, but I'm sure it will show up sometime this week.
I've got an combo setup so won't know what works for the flywheel and starter stuff until I get into it.
Z06 trans, 83 dual plate clutch, high-torque starter, etc.
Thanks for l the extra parts too. You all have been extremely helpful.
I decided not to do any of the Euro stuff in the interest of time and cost - maybe the next time
Coolant drained from both sides of engine block - that was fun.
Starter and alternator removed (supercharger earlier today)
Oil drained
More wiring disconnected
Headers unbolted from Y-Pipe
Everything is so nasty under here with oil and crud, this may have been a blessing in disguise to finally get the engine (or an engine) sealed up properly and toss the drip tray. Probably the oil pump, cam covers, oil pan, and who knows what else.
Quick update - engine delivery delayed until next week, which is fine. The transport company didn't have a lift-gate truck available today, and it's pouring, so trying to transfer it from a tractor trailer into the back of a pick-up, then use a shop hoist to get it into the garage would have been fun.
Still waiting on some hardware from Fastenal to be able to put the new motor on the Engine stand, and not having to work around it while I continue to work on getting the current motor out will be better.
Also, my box from Roger is shipping today so delivery Thursday of next week when I'm back from a trip should work out perfectly.
Wow, that sucks. It says "Lift gate service" at delivery. These things are random sometimes. At least its close. Did you get the box though?
It's OK, really. Less stuff in my way for this weekend's removal work and gives me a little more time to get the garage setup to have places for 2 engines out of the car and on the floor. Your 4.7 will go on the Sunex stand and I'll set the 4.5 on the skid once I get the 4.7 off.
Also gives me a chance to have the engine to stand mounting hardware on-hand that arrives at Fastenal on Monday.
No box yet - tracking shows it in Greensboro, NC with an exception for a train derailment that is delaying delivery - you can't make this stuff up
As long as it shows up by Wednesday of next week, should be totally fine.
