Fwiw, I just had a stage 2 t56 built by Jason@ Texas drivetrain. It's not installed yet, but the customers service was good, shipped quick and he has a good reputation on ls1tech. No core was required, and he offered a stg2 clutch/flywheel in the package for a very reasonable price.

Have you looked into the dual pass radiator that Chase bays offers?

I would give Rick Yancer a call at Howe Racing out of Michigan and have custom radiator made at an awesome price.

I called them and I dealt with them when I bought my cam kit but the guy I spoke with was a dick and said they don't do transmission

My bad, I thought he was referring to the line from the MC to the trans only, not the bleeder. It is two lines then.

Made loads of progress the last couple nights.

Figured out all the AN fittings I will need for my fuel and coolant set up.
Ordered all of them.

They only thing I'll be needing is compression fittings to attatch to the stock hard line for fuel and the heater core mouted on the fire wall.

If anyone knows a good place to find these fitting that would be greatly appreciated.

The sikky line that I was missing came in props to sikky because they shipped out a new one and had it the next day

Spal fan came in as well

Currently waiting on the lines , 360 degree swivel water neck and krc ps pulley

ok sorry for the late update but ran into quiter a few issues.

there wont be many pictures this update because i bought a new phone and all the pics are on the other phone :/

but here we go

i ordered all the lines for the fuel and coolant system and all the hose ends and fittings.
all earls fittings and hoses very quality stuff but unfortuneately no pictures :/

tapped the water pump assembly and that is ready to go
but no pictures :/

i ran into a few issues i didnt like the way i was going to attatch to the heater core so i am going a different direction.

i had to pull the whole motor for the third time because i was unaware that the ls1 trans will not shift into 2,4,6 or R

GM no longer makes the piece for the GTO so i called sikky and they shipped me one right away
