We waiting on some gaskets and misc parts then soon we will be dropping engine in and trying to figure out some wiring problems we will have but getting close! But taking our time and cleaning and painting alot of parts before they went back on to clean them up some. No reason not to really. 15 mins and 5$ in engine paint to spruce things up. Repainted brake booster, some resivoirs and allt he hard lines so far. Will probably do the wheel wells iwith that rubberized truck bed spray liner crap.

On that radiator bracket, I would make the hole that goes over the radiator side larger and put the rubber grommet under it. You take the chance of it vibrating and cracking the radiator. This is why the OEM one is like this.

Looks good

I think it turned out to be more $$ and fabricating than they wanted to spend to just have fun.

I'll keep LS1 an option for later.

This route I'll have my car up and running and be able to enjoy it sooner.

Sorry, sold it back to the guy who sold it to me.
Hes putting it in some weird chassis (i dont even remember the name)

For a LS1 setup you are looking at a minimum of $6,000 not including shell
