Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate your $.02 Eric. That’s part of asking. I looked at and considered the Kwik Performance setup because it got good reviews. The biggest factor against it was I like the “cleaner” appearance of the lower mounted accessories.

Scott, as it sits the driveline angle is at 3*. There is lots of clearance at the transmission tunnel. The current transmission is a TH350, which I had built for the car before going with the LS1. I planned to go with a Gear Vendors overdrive, however, have heard mixed reviews. The oil pan is the LH8 oil pan. It has been used on several other G-body swaps, but it might be worth looking at one of those you mentioned. The motor mounts use a urethane bushing at the connection point. The frame and front suspension is mostly completed. The back uses a watts link and I have a 9 inch housing for it. Corvette brakes all around. Has the vette six pistons up front. Lots of plans and there never seems to be enough money.

I have been able to piece my accessory drive together for about $250.00. That included buying the motor mounts.
