Just letting every one kno, its not going to look like GM installed it. The thread where I built most of it on the table is just mock up. Stock looking ls just doesn't fit this car. Plain and simple.

I know it's a DD are you keeping the A/C? I'm curious about some of the details especially accessory drive.

Yes keeping the AC. I'm to old not to have it. The acc are a combination of our Billet setup and a few pieces I had to make along the way. Only thing I don't plan to have is cruise.

I almost named it Spark plugs?

Did get some done Sat, not as much as I would have liked. Never enough time one the day. Few more bolts and it clean up time.

Getting there. Are you going to use a stand-alone EFI or are you adapting the stock LS harness?

Just to let everyone know, this swap will not be the fastest swap done. One reason is I have a lil helper that wants to be involved. So I got a 9 yr old taking out a engine & trans. I loosen some nuts and bolts before he takes parts out.

It's down to drive shaft, c beam, taking the trans out and ps lines. He has made a pile of junk in a couple days. Brakes and suspension is fairly easy to him, he has put several sets on in the past.
