Some more updates. Installed the lifters (out of the old LQ4) LS2 MLS head gaskets, the heads and lifter valley cover.
Also ordered the front and rear cover gaskets, oil pan, windage trey, pickup tube, valve cover and oil pan gaskets as well as the sbc motor mounts and LSx adapter plates.
and some pics....

Some progress today; I primered the valve covers and timing cover (paint tomorrow), the oil pan, pickup and windage trey also arrived today so I started the cleanup on that. Hopefully Ill have the whole thing closed up by the end of the week.

Valve covers, etc. look good with new paint. Noticed in one of the pics you got different rims for the Nova. (Looks like they might be Corvette rims?)

Iam going to use an LS6 intake,
Ive got the black camaro ss wheels for the Nova a while ago, the chrome wheels in the pics were for my Iroc but I decided not to use them.
Thanks for all the comments guys
