Default LS 1 Update as requested.

Well things are going smooth, but slow. I've just about got the motor ready for re-entry except for clutch assembly and tapping the sensor holes. Still haven't picked a clutch yet. Swaying between Centerforce II or the stock balanced GM assembly that is on sale at gmpartsdirect.. Motor mounts are on and ready to go, thanks to Doug finding a hard to find 10 MM socket style tappered head bolt. I've decided to tackle the wiring harness as a challenge, can't wait for that. I scored a LS1 ecm on ebay of a smoking $19. I will need to have it reflashed a the dealership to a manual program. No big deal there.

Clutch pedal is finished except for new pads and the neutral safety rod. There is still some welding required to mate up a late model Camaro hydrolic clutch ram and the pedal assemble. I will have a plate made for it.

Items still on the list to purchase:
Better shifter handle/****
Shifter gasket
fuel regulator
Fuel lines
VAT and O2 elim.

Items still not sure will work:
Drive yoke
Radiator hoses
Existing single fan.

Picture to follow this weekend.
