I put the stock keepers on and now I have plenty of valve stem height.

Wow, another turbo 3800 build thread. I'm in the middle of a turbo 3800 build as well, maybe I should start my own thread soon. I haven't made one yet because I didn't think I had enough progress to make it worth it, but it looks like I do!

Main difference is I went with an L67 and have an L26 intake for it.

Yeah, it would definitely make for a nicer, cleaner 'build thread,' if one was to wait until they were near completion before posting. However, I'm going to have a bunch of questions along the way so I figured I would just incorporate all of them into the build thread.

Oh I have had my share of questions as well, I just asked in a different thread or individually. I definitely will be keeping tabs on this thread though.

Edit: Maybe I missed it, but did you say what transmission you are going to/planning to use?

Got my 6265 today. I also got an LC1 wideband a little while back. I haven't died but I haven't made much progress.

Just slowly collecting parts.

Tomorrow I'm gonna try to make time to head to a pick n pull and pick up an L26 LIM and UIM.

Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress. I've been doing lots of side work in addition to my 9 to 5. Since my last post I've gotten married and I'm buying my first house (it closes on the 16th). The new home includes a 24x30 foot shop and I've set money aside to buy a nice air compressor, welder, etc. After we get moved in, I'm going to slow down on the side work and get started on the Fiero again.
